How to make a bumpkin for Halloween! First of all, pour some orange child safe paint onto a dish. Secondly, get the sponge and soak it in the orange paint for around five to ten minutes. Make sure you have a soft sponge for this. Next, grab an A4 piece of paper and place it on the table. Get your child ready and male sure they are dry and clean obviously. Grab the sponge and wipe the orange paint on their bottom. Once you have applied the paint quickly sit your child on the piece of A4 paper. Then after a few seconds lift them off and hey presto they have the outline of the bumkin. Don’t worry if the first try doesn’t go so well. There should be plenty of paint left for another few goes to perfect the bumkin. Once the impression is done and you are happy with it. Clean baby up. Then your paint brush draw lines at the top of the impression centralised and make the stems using the green paint. Once complete, allow to dry. Add your child’s name and the year to the bottom of the piece of paper. You can put anything you like.This would make a great keep sake not only for you but for extended family like grandparents too.
