Open Ended Art: Pumpkins

The theme of open ended art this week at Mommies Wise Little Bookworms is pumpkins. This is our first time to participate. The only type of art the boys are into these days is open ended, so this is perfect for us.

I put out pumpkins, paint, pom poms, googly eyes, glue, and stickers. I told the boys to decorate the pumpkins however they wanted.

Sawyer put star stickers all over his pumpkin. He said he was making a roller coaster.

Jax had fun painting and putting googly eyes on his pumpkins.

Sawyer said this one was a "diniosaurus." Gotta love these little imaginations.

Here are the finished pumpkins. Beautiful!

Stickers are a terrific idea, especially for younger kids who might struggle with glue and paint!

Kids looked like they had a ball!
