Pretty Pumpkins

                                                  

Yes, this is an activity to do with grandchildren. My grandson would never pass up the chance to work with sharp objects. So it does require lots of supervision. These pretty pumpkins are made with craft store pumpkins, ordinary straight pins, small clear beads, and sequins.

Draw your design on a foam pumpkin from the craft store.  Then load a straight pin with a clear bead and a sequin, and push in the pin.  Use a thimble on your finger.  The perfect activity for a rainy afternoon.
