Fall is here and excitement is in the air because Halloween is right around the corner. Moms and kids have already begun brainstorming about creative ways to celebrate the holiday. Dads too! There’s thought about ideas for costumes, decorations, and treats. Creativity is at its height and one creative, as well as, practical idea is making painted pumpkin faces. Painted pumpkin faces are a great way to express one’s imagination; but for Parents in charge of clean-up, painted pumpkin faces are also practical.

With traditional carved pumpkins, there can be quite a bit of clean-up involved. Carved pumpkins eventually decompose. This decomposition looks unattractive and certainly is not pleasing to one’s olfactory senses. Painted pumpkin faces alleviate these problems. Plus, there is less pressure involved, regarding potential mistakes or dangerous accidents involving carving tools.
