Halloween Anticipation | California Mom Blogger

No Carve Lion Pumpkin DIY

Posted by SanLuisObispoMom.com on Sunday, October 20, 2019, In : Fall 
My five year old has just competed in his very first pumpkin contest. Since he is only five, there is no carving involved and we did it as a family. It was a fun activity that all of us enjoyed. My son got to pick what color eyes our pumpkin should have and other features too. He was very adamant that our lion pumpkin should not have ears! Here's the final product.
