What type of paint do you use to paint pumpkins? I do not want to buy a "kit" and we have acrylic paints the girls use on paper. Will they work?
Any tips/suggestions would be appreciated!
We painted our pumpkins, using your tips and they turned out cute! Thank you! I always get great advice from the other moms on this site.

Acrylic paints will work best- they won't chip off and will stay put better when they're dry than tempera. Since the pumpkin's surface is so slick, you may want to try mixing in a bit of dish soap to get the paint to go on more even.
yup! acrylic will work great. even tempera works, but acrylic will last longer if they are outside. have fun!
