Easy and ADORABLE Pumpkin Carving Alternatives

I have a 2 year old and 1 year old and they love getting crafty with paints or coloring.  I have really wanted to do something with them for Halloween.  The 2 year old, has been especially interested in pumpkins this year.  With them being too young to carve, which is what most of us default to, I was considering painting them.  Here are some fantastic and adorable ideas that kids can get involved with if you’re looking for some alternatives like I was, or just those of us (like myself), who are far from gifted when it comes to pumpkin carving and slightly embarrassed to display them every Halloween!

Easy Mummy Pumpkins

Mummy Pumpkins- So much better than pumpkin caring and so easy!These adorable mummy pumpkins are easy to make and your little ones will love helping wrap them; plus 2 birds with one stone, mummy and pumpkin!

Pumpkin Carving Alternative

The drill bill pumpkin looks so nice on the porch at night time to light up your other decorations, plus you can’t really mess this one up!  Drill holes, we can all handle that!

Spider Pumpkins

Pumpkin Stickers

My kiddo goes crazy for stickers… he would love these!  The only problem might be not having enough pumpkins for the stickers!

Push-In Decorating Kits

Scarecrow Kit

Pumpkin Stands

I'm six-foot tall mother of three and I'm enjoying the view! I'm currently fighting a battle with Lyme disease and am determined to come out victorious. I enjoy warm summer rain, peanut butter everything, having dance parties with my husband and kids, natural remedies and healthy living. Most days I'm just looking for another excuse to avoid the piles of laundry.
