Gourd painting is a fun fall activity that makes for perfect Thanksgiving decorations. Try gourd painting with your child for some seasonal fun this autumn.

Recruit a grandparent, pen pal, or far-off friend and get ready to engage your child in some old-fashioned communication, with a new twist.

Choose a design that is as simple or as intricate as you like and create a stencil that you can use over and over again.
