The last few years we have gotten pumpkins with the intention to carve them but never really have gotten around to it. Eric is not a big one on carving them and I seemed to forget about them until it is too late.
This year we decided to something different. Now they have all these different faces and characters you can make your pumpkin into and it is just inserting the different face pieces.
I came across these Angry Bird ones and thought it would be perfect for our boys. This way they could create their own bird or pig. After picking up the pieces and the paint we were all set to try our new craft.
Thomas chose to do the pig and Sup went with red bird. Although one might think with the paint it would be a little messy, the boys did great with it. We didn't get any their clothes or the house. It was a lot simpler then carving and cleaning up the guts to the pumpkin, and really this was an activity they could to all on their own.
It was pretty funny to see the difference in painting style. Sup did his in big strokes and was done in like 5 minutes. Thomas on the other hand much more detailed (even though it was just one color) doing small slow strokes making sure that his paint was perfect and not a spot was missed. He took probably a good 30-40 mins to make sure his was exactly the way he wanted it. They really turned out really nice and lasted a long time :)
