No carving pumpkin decoration

This year, I really wanted to do a pumpkin art with the children. Carving is fun but it has limitation to work with the young children so I decided to paint it. I got the best looking one from the Trader Joe's and painted it with the primer so the children's paint colors could stand out. 

The pumpkin canvas was ready and waiting for the children!

The children were so excited and they painted it very enthusiastically. They commented about each other's colors and  loved how it came out.

Messiness is the evidence that the children really enjoyed it!

I coated it with polyurethane just to save it for longer time, but the colors would've been more vibrant without it.

Ta~dah~! This became the great piece for the mantel decoration.
