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!

The possibilities are endless with Crayola Quick Dry Paint Sticks! These colorful tools are a water-based, soft, solid stick. They’re soft enough to create on almost any surface.

For a 60 Second Dry Time:

• Use on porous surfaces, such as copy paper, poster board or construction paper. Non-porous surfaces, such as canvas board, will add to your dry time.
• A little goes a long way! Only use one or two layers of color. Adding more layers will add to your dry time.
• Make sure you use the paint sticks in a low humidity environment.
• Use a fan or blower dryer (no heat) to help them dry quicker.

• Paint: Thoroughly dry pieces may be painted with tempera, acrylic, or watercolor paint
• Markers: Non-Permanent & Washable Markers may not provide optimal coverage if you are coloring a large area of clay since the clay tends to clog the marker nib. Permanent pigment-based markers work well for writing words on the clay.
• Glitter Glue can be used to decorate dry artwork.

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.
