Colorful Halloween Pumpkins

Tired of the same old boring orange Halloween pumpkins year after year?  I was too. (I only bought about 15 of them this year to decorate.)  Meet the new, ultra colorful pumpkins.  My tween neighbors and toddler daughter loved them :)

Start with a plain white pumpkin, real or fake, and a bunch of crayons.  Unwrap the crayons

Place the crayons on top of the pumpkin.  Some I could just set up there and some I had to glue

Use your hair dryer to melt the crayons.  This gets a little mess so be prepared.  I thought I would do this with my toddler, but don't really recommend having kids around since it gets so hot and crayons fly everywhere

Ta da!  This finished product

You could also chose one color scheme for a certain look
