Having random fun and easy crafts for kids is a great way to expand their minds throughout the holidays. I think crafts for Thanksgiving is another great way for family to connect on the warm day!

Painting Small Pumpkins

We grew a couple small pumpkins, which turned out perfect for each of our kids. This craft is a great way to be creative with food.

What you will need:

Let's get started:

Step 1. Lay out the newspaper on the kitchen floor( or outside if its a nice day).

Step 2. Set up the paint on plates( easier for painting).

Step 3. Have each child sit down and paint the pumpkin however they choose.

Step 4. Let dry.

Step 5. Have the children decorate the house with their pumpkin. Step back and enjoy.

Easy, fun, and creative. Crafts like this make each holiday fill with excitement.
