Well Chloe sprinted straight for the biggest pumpkins she could find. She’d go over to one and try to lift it. Then to another. Then another. I would walk over to her with a Chloe size pumpkin and she’d shoot me down time after time. There really is no rationalizing with a two year old. It has to be her idea or it just won’t fly. After a few minutes she ran over to me with a Chloe size pumpkin and said “Chloe pumpkin.” Well alrighty then. We have a pumpkin. I gave her one dollar to pay for her pumpkin and off we went.

I had seen a few ideas around the blog about decopaging pumpkins so we came home and gathered our supplies: a pumpkin, Mod Podge, a paintbrush, and a leftover birthday napkin.

I let Chloe use the paint brush and spread the Mod Podge all over the pumpkin. We then wrapped the napkin all around the pumpkin and then put a thin layer of Mod Podge on top.

It took a couple of hours to dry, but was WAY easier than painting with a toddler. She rode with her pumpkin in her lap to school today. I do believe she likes it.
