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.

Whack O'Lantern

Here's a neat low-carve idea that's awfully sweet and, dare I say, a little therapeutic.

With this cool Jack o' Lantern technique, using a rubber mallet and golf tees (or a screwdriver, perhaps, for thicker rinds), you'll get a cute, well-lit pumpkin for your porch, AND you'll get to rid yourself of some of that pre-holiday stress at the same time.
