Pumpkin Painting

Lovett Memorial Library is hosting a pumpkin painting session for kids this Saturday, October 24. It's a straightforward one: children get to paint their own pumpkins right there in the library, so if you've got little ones at home and want to get them into the spirit of the season without the mess in your own kitchen, this is a good spot to do it.

The session runs from 10 AM to 12 PM, which is a decent window—two full hours to let them take their time and really work on their pumpkins rather than rushing through. Since it's a morning thing on a Saturday, it fits right into a weekend routine without taking up the whole day. It's the kind of activity that works well for preschoolers and young children, and because it's at the library, it's a low-pressure way to spend a couple of hours.

Lovett Memorial Library is located at 6945 Germantown Avenue, at the corner of Germantown Ave. and Sedgwick St. in Philadelphia, PA 19119. It's a neighborhood branch, so it's easy to get to if you're in the area. The painting happens on Saturday, October 24, from 10 AM to 12 PM.
