With little kids, I thought the idea of coloring pumpkins sounded much better than carving pumpkins. But precautions still needed to be taken as these were permant markers we were talking about. I put a protective layer over the table, and craft shirts on the girls. I tried to explain orange marker on orange pumpkin wouldn't show - to no avail. (Calli still thinks white crayons are "broken" because they won't color on white paper.)
I drew a face on Mari's - so she would have something to start with. By the time she finished, it was almost completely covered over.
About halfway through the art project, Mari decided it was more fun to cap and uncap the markers than to color. But her aim isn't so great and she ended up with colorful hands. (She also drew two large lines on her face, but I didn't waste time taking pictures and immediately tried to get those off as best as I could with a baby wipe.)
