You Carve. We Paint

I spent the last few weeks pondering how to get Ana to carve a pumpkin without 100% adult intervention (I'm a firm believer that kids need to create their own masterpeices). I got a hint from Nora, who wrote with permanent marker and then mom carved for her, but relized this too wasn't perfect as the writing did not lend itself to carving. So ineveitably parents were forced to design the pumpkin carving.
Lucky for me, our local county park had my solution, complete with supplies, set up, and clean up (April, they must have read your blog).





BEHOLD. A masterpiece
