How to carve your pumpkin and use the stencil
🚨Be careful when using sharp tools to carve pumpkins. Always ask a grown-up to help you!🚨
Cut a hole in the top of your pumpkin and scoop out all the seeds into a bowl. You can even use the pumpkin filling in lots of tasty pumpkin recipes.
Print your chosen stencil and carefully cut out the design with scissors.
Use a marker pen to draw the stencil shapes onto your pumpkin. You can trace around the inside of the stencil or use the cut-out pieces and draw around the outside.
Carefully use your carving tools to cut out the sections of your design.
Place a battery powered tea light in the centre of your pumpkin and watch your spooky pumpkin come to life.
