The previous week, we painted pumpkins. I wrote about it here.
It was the week before Halloween. And the teacher had stopped by to drop things off for her students before school. She wrote them notes. She left some candy. And she left behind some small pumpkins.
One of the instructional aides and I discussed what to do with them. And that's when I remembered something I had seen when looking up design ideas for the painted pumpkins the previous week. Pumpkin donuts.
I really, really wanted to paint the pumpkins like donuts.
So, we did.
Day one: we painted just the top to look like frosting. Then, on day two, we added sprinkles:
I got to do a couple (for an example to the students):
So fun.
(The instructional aide did one more pumpkin, and I have to share that as well...)
Pumpkins that look like donuts are good for Thanksgiving, right?
very cute!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm hungry for donuts.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteThe internet is full of so many interesting ideas.
DeleteThat's a great idea, especially with the smaller, flatter pumpkins they sell now.
ReplyDeleteNow when I see them, all I see is donuts.
DeleteI was expecting actual donuts that have that taste which I would not like. These pumpkins are fun and inventive.
ReplyDeleteI found pumpkin chocolate chip cookies once. They were pretty good.
DeleteHow much fun! When my kids were still living at home....YEARS and YEARS ago we stopped carving pumpkins and painted ours.
ReplyDeleteIf I'd known about this, I would have done it years ago.
DeleteWe all need our creative time.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
How clever! And now I want a pumpkin spiced treat. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a pumpkin spice fan. Enjoy.
DeleteThe pumpkin donuts look so amazing. Super fun idea.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw it, I knew I had to try it.
DeleteSimilar to the pumpkinfest we have here where local artists paint giant pumpkins that line main street. I like the pumpkin donuts!
ReplyDeleteAs I have no idea whether or not doughnuts have anything to do with Thanksgiving, I think it was a clever idea :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun idea! they look like such cute painted pumpkin donuts! :)
ReplyDeleteHope that you are having a good weekend :)
