Ice your cupcakes with chocolate icing, and add pumpkin candies to the top. Have your preschooler add chocolate sprinkles, to make your icing look like a muddy field. You can also use gel icing to add vines and leaves to your pumpkins.

Ice your cupcakes with white, chocolate, or yellow icing. Add a few fall sprinkles to the center of the cupcake. Add 8 candy corns around the sprinkles to create a pinwheel, or daisy shape.
