Pumpkin Decorating Art

I know I would have a problem carving a pumpkin due to my RA and I can imagine there are more people who are in a similar position as I am.

Of course you can ask someone else to carve a couple of pumpkins for you, but you can easily decorate a pumpkin without having to take a knife to it.

There are lots of pumpkin decorating kits for sale; all you have to do is push the different items in the pumpkin. We have one of those kits and even though it still requires some strength, it is a lot easier then having to do the carving.

If that still presents a problem then how about pre-drilling the holes before pushing the accessories in the pumpkin?

In case you don't want to go through that trouble, there is another option; paint the pumpkin!

I personally like that better; you can let out all your creativity and it is even possible for the children to decorate their own pumpkin.

As to what paint to use; my guess is that water based latex, or acrylic paint would work well and maybe even child friendly finger paint or spray paint.

You would kill two birds with one stone; getting rid of remnants of paint and ending up with a very unique Halloween decoration!
