Ok how about this one? I like the idea of diving the pumpkin into slices like you’re cutting into a pie. You can use different colors for each slice and paint Halloweeny things on the slices. I love how they used skeletons, ghosts, and bats. This would be fun and easy for the kids to do with a little help.
I’m totally loving this pumpkin! Painting a dark background really makes the flowers pop, don’t you think? And how adorable is that little ghost peeking out? It’s a super cute way to mix spooky with sweet. You could even change up the flower colors or add your own little details. It feels doable even if you’re not a super experienced painter.
How about taking inspiration from “Dia de los Muertos” with a sugar skull pumpkin? It’s all about white paint as a base, then add those classic, colorful details around the eyes and mouth. To top it off, you can use real flowers or maybe even craft some paper ones to give it that extra festive touch! It’s really pretty and not too spooky for the little ones, I hope you like it.
Looking to give your pumpkin a superhero edge? How about a Spiderman-inspired design? All you would need is red paint for the base, add a simple black web pattern and some cool white eyes. This idea is great because it’s instantly recognizable and super fun to create. Plus, it’s a project that even the littlest artists can get involved in – how awesome is that?
Have you ever thought of turning your pumpkin into your favorite character? I think a really fun idea this year would be to paint a cartoon character that you really like. I’m a big fan of the character style and think kids would love it! This would be so fun for a Halloween party for children of all ages.
Here’s a cute one! Why not paint a batch of pumpkins in pastel colours like pink and cream? Then you can add cute Halloween drawings like bats, mini ghosts and flowers. You could even add fun Halloween phrases and personalize one with a single initial. They’re super simple and you don’t need to be an artist to pull them off!
How cute and relatively simple is this idea?! It’s just painting different pumpkins the colors of M&Ms then using white to make the candy brand label. It would be easy and fun for even young kids to get involved. And I love how, by changing the shape of the eyes, each M&M candy pumpkin is a distinct character, adding a little personality to your seasonal decorations! I think it would be extra neat as a staircase display like this.
Okay, so how cute are these guys? I love the idea of taking classic monsters and making them totally adorable with just paint.

Definitely a way to add a touch of whimsy to your Halloween decorations!
How about giving those round pumpkins a cute makeover as beloved cartoon characters? Think about painting a Ninja Turtle or a minion! It’s a fun and easy way to add a pop of color and nostalgia to your Halloween display, and the kids will absolutely love helping out. If you don’t want to be so literal, you could even get inspired by the one eyed monsters or troll dolls. Grab some paint, get creative, and bring your favorite characters to life!
Feeling a little wicked this year? How about this creepy clown pumpkin, its menacing smile might just scare the trick-or-treaters away, lol.

These pumpkins would make trick-or-treaters smile!
Alright, let’s talk about a simple yet super cute idea! Why not try a Frankenstein pumpkin but make him extra friendly? Just paint the pumpkin a spooky green, add some black “hair”, and then draw a big, happy smile and some easy eyes. The best part is the stitched scars; aren’t they just too much? So easy, and totally adorable, right?
If you’re looking for something super vibrant and fun, these “Coco” inspired pumpkins might be right up your alley. The sugar skull face is surprisingly easy to paint, and that colorful dog?

How about going Nightmare Before Christmas? It’s a classic! Imagine a pumpkin all in black, but with that iconic sunset scene painted on it. Then add a menacing Oogie Boogie lurking below and a little bit of Zero flying around. It’s a fun mix of spooky and sweet that should be easy enough for anyone to pull off.
Okay, here’s an idea for all you folks who love a good cartoon! Why not bring Bikini Bottom to your front porch this year? You could round up pumpkins of all shapes and sizes and transform them into the whole Spongebob crew. From a giggling Spongebob to a grumpy Squidward, and even a little Gary – painting these characters would be a blast. Plus, who wouldn’t want to see these happy faces greeting them at your doorstep?
I’m really into this pumpkin because of the gradient effect from the bright pink up to the orange. It really sets the mood for a spooky Halloween night and makes the silhouette of the haunted house, graveyard, and bats *pop!* You could totally use acrylic paints to create that gradient effect or even try spray paint for a super smooth finish and I think kids could have a lot of fun with this one! I would imagine a simple template could make the shapes easier to paint. The contrast of the light gradient and dark objects would make this a fun project and a Halloween hit.
Okay, so I was thinking, if you’re feeling something a bit retro with a spooky twist, how about a rockabilly skeleton? This gal’s got a bold look with that pop of purple and a splash of blue in her hair, singing her heart out like its nobody’s business. The web background really makes the skeleton stand out, too. It has such a cool, vintage vibe that just screams Halloween!

The cardboard ears and bow add dimension and make these pumpkins POP! I think the kids will definitely love this fun painting pumpkin idea!

Don’t be afraid to get creative with the colors, too – a bright blue nose or a set of polka dot cheeks will add a touch of whimsy.
For a simple yet spooky look, try a Jack Skellington inspired design! Start with a white pumpkin as your base, which already gives it a ghostly vibe. All you need is some black paint for those iconic, slightly menacing eyes and stitched smile. Oh, and don’t forget to paint the stem a fun, contrasting color like purple for a pop of personality. Quick, easy, and totally Halloween-y!
Okay, I think this pumpkin is just so fun! I really love how someone just painted the whole thing black and then went to town with a bunch of bright colors. The little ghosts and bats are adorable, and it’s like a Halloween doodle dream. It’s cool and doesn’t take itself too seriously and I like that it is almost a doodle pattern design. Easy, fun, and totally festive!
Want a pumpkin that’s elegant instead of spooky? How about this decoupage flower design? It’s actually easier than you might think, and it’s so beautiful with that white background and the vintage-looking pink roses. Just find some napkins with your favorite flowers, and you’re on your way. It gives your autumn decor a touch of vintage chic, don’t you think? Plus, it’s so different from all the typical pumpkin carvings!
How fun is this idea, right?! You could totally channel your inner child by painting your pumpkins like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It’s a super easy concept to pull off, so grab your green paint and colored masks and get to it. Cowabunga, dude!
Okay, how about a modern take with a bold splash of color? I think that by starting with a base coat of black paint for a dramatic effect is really cool.

It’s artistic and honestly, super fun to create, plus, it’s a great way to use those broken crayons you’ve been saving!
Okay, so, here’s one that just gives me good vibes. How about channeling some iconic Halloween characters like Frankenstein’s monster or Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas?

I like that it’s not super detailed, so you can totally pull it off even if you’re not a painting pro, like me! It’s all about having fun and getting into the Halloween spirit, right?
Here’s a playful idea – carve out a large section of the pumpkin and nestle a smaller, white pumpkin inside. Then, paint a super-realistic eye on the white pumpkin, complete with mesmerizing details in the iris. Add some dramatic, feathery eyelashes made from pipe cleaners for extra flair, and you’ve got a spooky, yet artistic, pumpkin that’s sure to grab attention! It’s a little more advanced, but so worth it for the wow factor!
You know, if you’re feeling a little spooky and fun, you could totally try painting some character-inspired pumpkins.

These are super fun and not too tricky, so they’re perfect for an afternoon project.
How adorable is this Stitch pumpkin? I love how it incorporates those signature floppy ears – you could easily make them out of foam or cardstock. Plus, it’s just paint; no messy carving needed! I bet the kids would go nuts for it. It’s a pretty simple design when you break it down, and it would definitely add a fun, playful touch to your Halloween decorations.
I am loving how these pumpkins turned out with the marbling technique. It looks pretty easy, and I’m thinking it would be a fun project to do with the kids since it doesn’t have to be perfect. Look at all the different color combos that you could try, too. I was thinking of doing some with golds and silvers to match my autumn decor. Maybe you could even add some glitter if you’re feeling extra festive. Definitely a cool look if you are seeking something bold and bright.
How about a super sweet Hello Kitty pumpkin? It’s seriously adorable, right? The whole thing is painted a soft pink and then that iconic Hello Kitty face is just perfectly painted on. The little bow with polka dots is a precious touch too! Imagine how cute this would look on your doorstep, or even as a centerpiece.
