Halloween was the perfect occasion to entertain my kids by painting pumpkins and playing with lights and shadows in this DIY. As they are small, I did not want to draw anything scary but pumpkins with funny faces, a happy ghost, and a castle in the background. The funny thing about this craft is that you build your drawings on levels. That…
