Choose your skill level, a style and an optional theme, and get six pumpkin carving ideas with the tools you need and clear steps. There are no-carve ideas for small children and detailed designs for experienced carvers.
Ideas that match your skill
Beginner ideas use big, simple shapes you can cut with a kitchen knife. Intermediate ideas add layered faces and patterns. Advanced ideas use shading, where you scrape the skin thin instead of cutting through, so the light glows through in steps.
Funny, scary, cute or no-carve
Pick a style to change the whole list: goofy faces, classic scary jack-o'-lanterns, cute animals, elegant patterns, or no-carve pumpkins decorated with paint, stickers or leaves, which suit toddlers and classrooms.
Add your own theme
Type something you love (cats, space, football, your house number) and the ideas are built around it. Run it again for six more.
Carving safely with kids
Every list ends with safety tips. Adults should do the cutting; children can draw the design, scoop the seeds and paint. Battery LED lights are safer than candles, especially near children.
