You could have himm draw jack-o-lantern faces on paper, then you can cut the faces out for them. Take the faces onto the pumpkin like a mask, and then let them stencil the face with a roller or stencil brush and some old paints. They can make a hat from leaves with sewing pins.

Or, give him a paper plate with several dollops of paint on it, and
a small brush. It's really fun to trace color into the lines of the pumpkin and make pretty stripes. He can make up his own face for it, too.
