Supplies: Bring pumpkins, real or fake, or gourds or decorative squashes, etc. Or you can do something like decorating or pouring paint on a clay pot.

You'll need paint (acrylic is best), paint pens (optional), sharpies (optional), brushes, newspaper (for the mess), whatever other supplies you need, apron etc. If doing pouring, see the list of supplies below.
