Coloring and Carving Pumpkins

Filed Under Firsts, Halloween, Sensory Stuff, Two and a half years old | 3 Comments

This is the first year Bailey has helped to decorate pumpkins. Last year and the year before I either did it by myself or put out a premade pumpkin. This year since we went to the pumpkin patch, I knew she would be really excited about decorating her own pumpkin.

We gave her washable markers and let her color all over the smaller one. She took her job very seriously. She told us the designs on the pumpkin include a pig, a cow, a face, and some letters. She colored on it for about twenty minutes which is a LONG time for a two year old to work on a project! At least for my child, anyway.

She helped me scoop out the pumpkin guts from the big pumpkin. She didn’t like it though and lost interest quickly. I don’t really like doing that either, so I can’t blame her. I carved it by myself and she watched and colored while I did it.

All lit up and ready for Halloween! She thought it was pretty cool.

    Good job on the pumpkin carving. Dave always carves our pumpkins.

    She is too darn cute! P painted a pumpkin this year at her aunt’s house – but I can’t get R into the spirit of any holiday really – so we didn’t get to have that kind of fun this year.

    Next year!
