Fall crafts are the best, but sometimes I just need something super easy and low-mess. If you’re looking for an alternative to the inevitable pumpkin carving hot mess situation, you are going to love this activity. Forget the sharp tools and yucky pumpkin guts. We are going to use something you should already have in your home. This Q-tip pumpkin painting is the perfect way to let even your toddlers get in on the fall decorating fun. I have included a free printable pumpkin template so you can skip the drawing and get straight to painting.
