16 No-Carve Pumpkin Ideas for Kids

October 7, 2016 by AllFreeKidsCrafts

When I was a kid, I never was too excited about carving pumpkins. In all honesty, we could’ve not had pumpkins on the front porch, and that would’ve been fine with me. The only reason this was the case was because my parents didn’t trust me carving my own pumpkin. I’d scoop out all the pumpkin innards, which I’ll admit was pretty fun, but my dad ended up doing all the craving. I certainly agree that children shouldn’t be carving their own pumpkins, but there is a way for them to get more involved in the process this Halloween. Have them try one of these 16 No-Carve Pumpkin Ideas for Kids! All these easy pumpkin crafts can be made with paint and extra decorations. There’s no carving to them!

No Carve Pumpkin Ideas for Kids

Avoid the fuss of children asking to carve their own pumpkins by letting them get creative with paints and craft decorations. They can make some of these or turn the pumpkin into their own favorite animal or scary monster. There are so many possibilities if the kids paint their pumpkins instead of carving them. There’s no better spooky Halloween craft than having scary pumpkins on the front porch!
