How cute are these! Halloween is certainly going to be diferent this year, a few arts and crafts at home is the way forward. #DreamTeam
Yes definitely! π x
What lovely ideas, I love the no-carve pumpkin monsters and the creatures – especially the pirate pumpkin. He is fantastic looking!! This is giving me great ideas of fun things to do with my daughters. We especially need to make it fun this year, considering how different it will be. Great suggestions! #dreamteam
Ah glad it gave you some ideas π Can’t decide what to do with ours! x
How lovely are these no carve pumpkin ideas. We’ve done this 2 years in a row now, and just love how much more hands on they are for little ones. Those minion pumpkins are hilarious.. I think we HAVE to try making some. Thank you for sharing these ideas with the #DreamTeamLinky xxx
Ah amazing! Can’t wait to see what you make! π
I love these! I’m going to show my girls! Thank you. Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time.
Fab, glad you enjoyed it π x
I love all of these, some great ideas. I definitely think we’ll be painting rather than carving this year, my daughter is only 3 so I trust her more with a paint brush than a knife!
