Have you heard of or used a light box? I’ve seen these all over blogs and Pinterest, but had never made one myself. I have wanted to make one for a while, so when I thought of this pumpkin decorating idea, I decided to try it out.
To make it, I took a clear storage box
Then I printed this pumpkin on cardstock paper and cut it out. I also cut out accessories and shapes out of felt. I used a few googly eyes and glued on stars on the pink hat.
When it was dark out, I invited Troy to play with the light box.
I showed him all the accessories and showed him how to put them on the pumpkin. He had a BALL decorating!!
Here are some of our decorated pumpkins!
It was a very fun activity! I can’t wait to use a light box more often. Hope you’ll try it out!
This is awesome Angela. I am hoping to try one out soon too! Not sure what we will do with it yet though.

Love your new design!
Thanks, Katie! I’m happy with it!!
I’ve made a light box for using water beads, and I agree -it does look beautiful in the dark! I will have to try out your pumpkin idea with my daughter -nice to do some lighted activities in these dark mornings and evenings!
