Pumpkin Bats

Blackboard-Painted Pumpkins
Indie Fixx introduced us to these Blackboard Pumpkins — a cute, safe, no-carve idea for Toddlers.
Simply paint a few pumpkins with chalkboard paint and then your young ones can make and remake and remake again their Jack O' Lanterns over and over from now until Halloween. You know, once is never enough for little kids.
Striped Pumpkins
We hear it's all about stripes this season, so you might as well apply some stylish stripes to your pumpkins, too.

Forget no carving. For those of you who just don't want to deal with a pumpkin AT ALL, here's a pumpkin-free Jack O' Lantern idea just for you. You get to use tin cans instead of pumpkins.
