Host a Pumpkin Painting Party for your kids with these fun party ideas!
Adorable Halloween Pumpkin Party Ideas for Kids
I hosted a fun Halloween Pumpkin Painting Party for the neighborhood kids! We have several new neighbors, so this was a fun way for everyone to meet and greet.
I did some test pumpkin painting before my guests arrived. Because my 2 year old is obsessed with Minnie Mouse right now… look what I made her!!
Think she liked it??? ha!
I used wooden skewers to stick the small ear pumpkins into Minnie’s head. The rest, I painted by hand, then added a pink bow!
Time for the party to begin!
I found tiny aprons at Hobby Lobby. They were half off! Love Hobby Lobby!
I also found some foil cupcake pans at the grocery store, then filled each cupcake area with paint and a brush. No mixing the paint this way!
I also covered the tables with press and seal cling wrap. It just sticks right to the table and no mess! Target has some cute Halloween press and seal.
Contests are always fun at parties. The kids all loved guessing how many pumpkins were in the jar. They each had to write down a number several times! Can you guess how many? (41 is the magic number!)
My son guessed 88. He cried when he didn’t get the prize.
Of course there were lots of “P” snacks. Popcorn, punch, pretzels and pumpkin bread!

The kids were so proud of their pumpkins! They even sat still for several photos. Wow!!
Pretty Pumpkins…

can i use arcrylic?
This was a while ago, but I think we used a washable craft paint. Washable paint is always a good idea with kids! Acrylic craft paint works best for sure.
