Pumpkin painting: Why smaller pumpkins are getting a makeover

If you're looking to get pumpkin carving this year, you might have to try out something a little bit different.

Many farmers have said that their pumpkins are going to be much smaller this year, as the crop has been affected by a very dry summer.

So, with pumpkins being too small to carve, one farm in Lincolnshire is suggesting to try painting them instead.

The team has been supplying paint and craft materials to children to get involved, and they say "some of the creativity of the kids is just amazing".
