Pumpkins!

Hi Susie,Max and I love pumpkins, too. You should see how many different types of Jack O'Lanterns we have around here. ~Tia (Mum)

Great idea

My toddler would love this. She's currently obsessed with jack o'lanterns and anything involving a marker is a big hit, so we'll have to try this the next rainy day. Thanks for an easy and fun idea! -Brenda   

Thank you!

I know what you mean about the Jack o'Lantern obsession. Max has one, too. Thank goodness they have the LED lights that can work in them because he also insists on turning the light on and off. He also loves the mask. I hope your toddler loves it just as much.~Tia (Mum) 

Perfect timing!

You have such cute ideas on this website. Although my kids are past this stage, I have new neighbors next door with three little ones. I'd definitely be passing this along to them. Perfect timing! Thanks!

Thank you!

Hi Melissa,
