Pumpkin carving workshop
Make a classic jack-o'-lantern, a goofy grin or a frightful masterpiece. Choose a face below to preview your inspiration.
🎃
Emoji previews are idea prompts; sketch your chosen expression onto the pumpkin before cutting.
How to carve a pumpkin
- Choose a firm pumpkin with a flat base. Wash and dry it.
- Adults should cut a lid or opening with a sturdy pumpkin-carving tool, cutting away from hands.
- Scoop out seeds and strings with a large spoon. Save seeds for roasting if desired.
- Draw your face with a washable marker. Start with simple shapes and leave strong bridges between cutouts.
- Carve slowly with small controlled strokes. Children can draw designs and scoop with adult supervision, but adults should do the cutting.
- Place a battery-operated LED light inside, then display on a stable surface.
Never let children handle carving knives. Keep real candles away from costumes, leaves and other flammable materials.
