14 Easy DIY No-carve pumpkin decorating ideas – Carving pumpkins is something that many families enjoy during the fall season and for Halloween. I love the idea of decorating pumpkins especially if the kids are involved in the project, they have so much fun!
It’s not October quite yet but I can see many houses with their traditional Jack-O-Lantern’s outside their porches already!
This year I would like to try something different; decorating pumpkins were carving is not involved. This is because my little one is super active and a curious toddler. So, I prefer to avoid any potential harm with carving tools or knives. Not only that but to be honest, I also prefer to avoid all that mess … (a win-win)!
