Pretty Pumpkins with Crayola Crayons
There are so many things you can do with pumpkins – and we discovered a new and colourful way of decorating them., rainbow style! It got a little messy, but it turned out ok. – and we’ll try it again soon to see if we can really make them rainbow style.

You will need a pumpkin, a hairdryer with a hot setting and some wax crayons. I used Crayola.
Apparently some people glue their crayons on, but my hot glue gun was out of glue [gasp] and so I used some pins instead. It was painful. Next time I use glue. So, with a few holes in my fingers and a few choice words yelled at the appropriate times, I managed to get the crayons into the pumpkin.
Then I hair dried it, around and around the pumpkin top where they crayons were. The wax seemed to be splattering everywhere but on my beautiful gourd in the beginning but I got the hang of it. When we were finished it thankfully appeared that some of it did stay on. I let it cool and set for about an hour and then displayed it for our little pumpkin lover.
