Decorating a pumpkin for Halloween doesn’t have to involve carving. If you don’t have time to carve, there are plenty of decorating ideas without the process. These options will help make the vegetable not only beautiful, but also original, and also extend its “life,” since an uncarved pumpkin will stay fresh longer. Check out Joy-pup for ideas on how to decorate a pumpkin without carving it.
Pumpkin animals
Kids can create cute pumpkin animal faces using scrap materials. They can use uncarved pumpkins, paint, felt, and other materials to create ears, eyes, and noses to give the pumpkin an animal appearance. Make fake eyes and ears that are easy to attach to create creative animals. This is a fun and creative kids craft that allows kids to use their imagination and decorate a pumpkin in the shape of their favorite animal.
Painted pumpkin
Painted pumpkins are a great alternative to carved pumpkins: no mess or sharp tools, so even young children can get involved in the creation process. It could be your child’s favorite character, creative, abstract patterns, a cute glow-in-the-dark monster, or a delicious donut. Use acrylic paint or special markers to draw on the surface of the pumpkin.
Drip pumpkins
This idea has endless room for interpretation. Create a Halloween color scheme or use a wider range of shades that will look festive all season long. Choose your favorite style—spooky, metallic, rainbow, or anything in between—and get to work.
Mummy pumpkin
Wrap the pumpkin in a bandage and attach it to the pumpkin using glue or thread. This can create a mummy pumpkin or add texture to your decorations.
