This year we used gel crayons, and they look really great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-paint-for-pumpkin-painting#post-2852425 Sun, 21 Oct 2018 15:34:27 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2852425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennibenni: this sounds like a super fun activity! What else are going to decorate the pumpkins with? Feathers, Pom poms? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-paint-for-pumpkin-painting#post-2852336 Sat, 20 Oct 2018 10:52:26 +0000 Jennibenni 2852336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So the crayola website says they don’t recommend their paint as it won’t stick. I ended up getting these tempera paint stick/pens at Michael’s that say they dry in 90 seconds, we’ll see how they do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-paint-for-pumpkin-painting#post-2852019 Thu, 18 Oct 2018 10:09:35 +0000 MrsSRS 2852019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you do oil pastels maybe do a setting spray like an aerosol mod podge when they're done. Otherwise I'd do Crayola washable paint. Again, I'd do a coat of mod podge or mod podge spray after they dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-paint-for-pumpkin-painting#post-2851840 Wed, 17 Oct 2018 13:00:25 +0000 Jennibenni 2851840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: Ooh, maybe I’ll do this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-paint-for-pumpkin-painting#post-2851708 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 21:14:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 2851708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: genius! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-paint-for-pumpkin-painting#post-2851696 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 20:07:22 +0000 Maysprout 2851696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We’ve been using oil pastels - it’s like a wax crayon. It’s pretty much mess free. I had a party of 3-4 year olds have a great time drawing on their pumpkins last year and it doesn’t get washed away in the rain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-paint-for-pumpkin-painting#post-2851682 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 19:09:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 2851682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also remind people to be careful where the put the pumpkin- I foolishly put ours out in the uncovered part of our porch in the rain and the paint washed off the pumpkin and dried on my stairs and risers. Total pain to scrub off. </p> <p>And yeah I think ours were acrylic and my daughter got a bunch on her favorite dress and it was a beast to get out. Definitely provide smocks or tell parents to bring them. If you do get paint on clothes, soaking in water and detergent, then scrubbing with a toothbrush dipped into straight detergent and letting it with the detergent, repeat, then wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-paint-for-pumpkin-painting#post-2851636 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 16:12:48 +0000 Littlebit7 2851636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just be careful if you use acrylic. It will definitely stay on the pumpkin and dry fast but it’s a pain in the you know what to get out of clothing and off of surfaces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-paint-for-pumpkin-painting#post-2851630 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 16:08:23 +0000 kiddosc 2851630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had good luck with the regular Crayola potted washable paints.<br /> <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/Crayola-Washable-Metallic-Paint-2-Ounce/dp/B00FY2O79O/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1539724053&#038;sr=8-1-spons&#038;keywords=crayola+paints&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/Crayola-Washable-Metallic-Paint-2-Ounce/dp/B00FY2O79O/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1539724053&#038;sr=8-1-spons&#038;keywords=crayola+paints&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-paint-for-pumpkin-painting#post-2851610 Tue, 16 Oct 2018 15:03:42 +0000 Jennibenni 2851610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m hosting a pumpkin painting party, what type of paint works best for this?
