  1. This are so cute!  I tried to make the pumpkin one but it definitely did NOT look like the picture.  I used kids washable paint since my 3-year-old and I were working together, and it hardly made the roll look orange AT ALL.  It was way too transparent.  In the picture, it looks perfect, like a piece of orange construction paper!  Any tips on the paint?

      Yes we use non-toxic acrylic paint and it goes on with much better coverage!
