Abstract Crayon Pumpkins

Welcome Autumn! In the northern states, signs of fall are beginning to show. School has begun, leaves are changing colors, and pumpkins are showing up everywhere. Even at Starbucks! Mmmmmm, pumpkin latte.

Each year we plant pumpkins in our raised garden, but because we often get hit with an early frost we usually have to pull them in before they have the opportunity to mature.

I am excited to try this crayon trick from Life with Moore Babies on our pumpkins. I love how she found an idea on Pinterest and then turned it into something new for the season! So simple. Crayons + Mini Pumpkins = Fall Fun

Get the link to the full “feature idea” showcased above and our three favorite projects from last week at the end of the group share below.

Be sure to check out all the wonderful ideas from this week as you scroll down.

Happy Friday!

PS: Now I have this classic Patsy Cline tune stuck in my head!

Notes to Fellow Bloggers:

• We are looking to team up with other fun kid’s blogs to create something we fondly call the Kid’s Co-op. A weekly group of blogging parents who do a joint link-up with their readers to showcase some of the hippest kids projects out on the web. Blogs of all sizes are welcome. If you are interested, request to join our private Facebook group by clicking here.
• Stop by every Friday and add your link. Your link will show up on each of the blogs in the community, so it’s like linking up to multiple parties at once! We currently have 20+ bloggers participating.
• Each week we will try to choose favorite posts to feature. By linking up, you are giving us permission to use an image and link back to you (if featured). You will also get a ‘Featured on’ button to proudly display on your blog.
