Tip of the Week: Pumpkin Decorating With Your Little Pumpkin

You'd love to include your toddler in your Halloween pumpkin carving, but how? Traditional pumpkin carving involves knives and sharp tools! Baby-proof your Halloween tradition by asking your child to pull out the gooey pumpkin insides. Yes, this will be messy, so be sure to put him or her in play clothes and have plenty of wipes handy.

Next, buy markers that work well on the surface of a pumpkin and allow your child to doodle or draw a face. There are also a number of kits you can purchase with foamies shaped like eyes, mouths and noses. A toddler can easily apply these with a little adult assistance. Finally, at the grocery store you can find a variety of seasonal gourds that can be used to decorate your pumpkin. Simply stick them on a toothpick and help your child assemble his very own jack-'o-lantern. Happy decorating!
