You start with a pumpkin. Select and gather your favorite paint colors. Then Ms Val will show you how to make magic happen!!

Register the child. (Each registration includes one pumpkin and includes one adult to come along for free as an assistant to make one pumpkin. No need to have the adult's name.) 

However, if the adult wants to make a pumpkin, too, please register and pay for another registration so Ms. Val knows how many pumpkins to bring along. 

You'll create an adorable, unique Fall decoration!   And, don't worry - because the pumpkins aren't "real" pumpkins, your lovely work will last a long time! 

Snack and juice will be provided as well as all the supplies for the class.

Be sure to wear painting clothes, it could get messy!
