My daughter is so anxious to carve our pumpkins, but with weeks until Halloween I know they would become rotten. So we decided to decorate our pumpkin for now and carve later!

It was super simple, but loads of fun!

We purchased a mask, some pom poms, feathers and gathered a few supplies we already had at home.

We glued the eyes to the back of the mask and the lips directly to the pumpkin. We decided on the next pumpkin we will forgo the mask and glue the fun features from the magazine right on the pumpkin.
