How to Carve a Pumpkin for Halloween

Carving a pumpkin is a fun and essential part of the Halloween experience. Whether you've purchased your pumpkins or picked them from the patch, finding the perfect carving pattern is key. Don't worry if you don't have a fancy pumpkin carving kit. You can use simple tools from your kitchen drawer—like a serrated knife, spoon, toothpick, and paring knife. Remember, it's all about having fun!

Start by cutting a circle around the stem of the pumpkin with a serrated knife. Remove the piece, ensuring it's large enough for your hand to fit through easily. Scoop out the pulp and seeds (or as my kids call it, the “guts”) using a spoon. If the pumpkin flesh is thick, thin it out with a spoon.

Next, tape your chosen free pumpkin template onto the pumpkin's surface. Use a toothpick or a sharp pointed tool to trace along the template's lines, transferring the design onto the pumpkin. Remove the template, and you'll see a line of dots marking the design. Now, carefully carve along the dotted lines using a serrated or paring knife, creating your spooky masterpiece! When you're finished, place a candle inside your carved pumpkin, and proudly display it on your porch for everyone to admire.
