We do not recommend the use of traditional Crayola art products for intentional direct skin contact. Products designed for face and skin painting require specific testing and approval for this purpose.

However, we think you will love the Crayola Face & Body Crayons! These non-toxic crayons allow you to color right on your skin. They clean easily off the skin with soap and water. Check for them at a major retail store near you.

 

 

Q: Can I use Crayola paints on pumpkins?
A: Yes! Crayola Acrylic Paints, Crayola Quick-Dry Paint Sticks, and Crayola Washable Project paints are perfect for creating art on both real and fake pumpkins.

Q: Do you offer any pumpkin painting kits?
A: Absolutely! We have several kits available, including:

• No Carve Pumpkin Decorating Kit with Paint Sticks
• Galaxy Paint Stick Pumpkin Decorating Kit
• Acrylic Pumpkin Painting Set, Classic Colors

Q: Are there any tips for painting pumpkins?
A: Yes, here are a few tips:

• Water-based products work best on porous surfaces.
• Water-based products may run or wash off when exposed to moisture, so it’s best to test the paint on your pumpkin first.
• Allow a little extra drying time for the paint to adhere properly.
• We recommend displaying your painted pumpkins indoors to protect them from the elements.

Q: Can I eat pumpkins that have been decorated with Crayola products?
A: No, pumpkins decorated with our products are not meant for consumption as our art materials are not food-grade.

Q: Where can I find DIY pumpkin-themed crafts?
A: Check out our DIY pumpkin-themed crafts section on our website for more creative ideas!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crayola® Washable Window Markers are designed specifically for window decorating. Learn more here.

If you're unable to locate the Window Markers, Crayola Washable Paint can be a fun alternative.

Pro Tips for Washable Paint:

• For the perfect mixture, add equal parts Crayola Washable Paint and dish soap.
• Add a pinch of flour to make the paint thicker.
• Don't forget to protect the area under your window by laying down an old T-shirt.
• Painting can be done on the inside or the outside of your window.
• Because soap is used in the paint, your designs will wipe off windows with a wet paper towel. You can follow up with window cleaner for extra shine.

Our experts have a few tips to help your creativity bloom with the Crayola Paper Flower Science Kit. 

For Best Results:

• Protect clothing & work surface before starting.
• Wipe water and ink spills immediately.

Cleaning Tips:

• Rinse and dry all pots, covers, funnels and watering can.
• Recap ink bottles and markers.
• Wipe away any spills from work surfaces.

Looking for refills?

• Need another bouquet? White coffee filters – they are the perfect alternative to paper petals because they mimic the wicking process of the ink into the paper.
• Have left over ink? To make your creativity bloom again, rinse the used cores and tips under running water to clean up as much of the ink as possible. Just be sure to wipe up any ink right away and let the cores and tips dry thoroughly. We’ve found this craft hack works best when the ink is fresh and hasn’t had too much time to set.
