All you need are two mini pumpkins, painted in the pretty pastel colors of your choice. Spread around some leftover paint in the color of the pumpkin you want to be on the bottom. Glue the pumpkin to a paper plate, and glue the other pumpkin on top of the first. Add some real sprinkles to the pumpkins and the plates (hot glue or sprinkling them over wet paint works well). Glue an ice cream cone on top for a super sweet Halloween treat.
