Funmoms: Make: Painted Pumpkins

If you're looking for a simple, quick activity to do with your kids, let them paint a pumpkin. You'll be amazed how much they enjoy spreading paint over the bumpy surface (WAY more fun than paper!), and then you'll have a sweet little homemade addition to your fall decor.

Fun Mom Feedback:

"Love the new site!"

"I just wanted to take a quick moment to say thank you for the great ideas. I feel very un-creative in that area, but my 2-year-old loves fun little projects. These are perfect; simple, not a lot of steps, and lots of them virtually free! So, thank you!"

"It's awesome! Can't wait to use it all. Loving the crafts!"

"Thank you for giving other moms creative ideas."

"What a great reference for fun projects to do with the kids!"

"I have a new level of confidence that I can do fun things with my kid. Turns out, I'm more fun than I thought!"

"What a great encouragment for moms! I'm spreading the word!"

"I feel so inspired!"

If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again

"If I had my child to raise over again, I'd fingerpaint more and point the finger less. I'd do less correcting and more connecting. I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes. I would care to know less and know to care more. I'd take more hikes and fly more kites. I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play. I'd run through more fields and gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging and less tugging. I would be firm less often, and affirm much more. I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later. I'd teach less about the love of power, and more about the power of love."
