Storybook Pumpkin Patch

We are growing a storybook pumpkin patch and we need your help, Oct. 16-20, 2023! Decorate a real or artificial pumpkin to look like one of your favorite book characters. Bring it to the school library to plant in our Storybook Pumpkin Patch! **No Carved or Cut Pumpkins!**

  • Decorate a pumpkin that is NO larger in size than a basketball.

  • DO NOT use candy, food, or spray paint to decorate your pumpkin.

  • Acrylic paints or permanent markers work best. Spray paint will gradually dissolve the pumpkin.

  • DO NOT carve, cut, or poke holes in your real pumpkin.

Please email hannah.walker@risd.org if you have any questions. Have fun and be creative!
