No REAL pumpkins will be accepted; please use a fake pumpkin.  Here are some tips to keep in mind as you are making your creation.

  • Think of your favorite book and design your pumpkin based on your favorite character and fill out the form on the back
  • Fake pumpkins can be found at the Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Wal Mart, Target, and many other stores.
  • Gather your decorating supplies. Acrylic paints or permanent markers work best. Other options include adding materials such as yarn, buttons, wiggly eyes, etc.
  • Bring your pumpkin and form to the library starting Monday, October 5th.
  • Pumpkins are to be taken home at the end of school on Wednesday, November 18th. If your child needs assistance getting it home please make arrangements.   All pumpkins will be disposed of on November 20th at 3:30 pm.
  • Participation is completely voluntary and this is not a contest.  You will receive a spirit stick and your pumpkin will be famous in the Pink Library!
  • Have fun and be creative.
