How to make a pumpkin for Halloween

Materials:

  • One large pumpkin
  • Knife or paper cutter
  • Spoon or scraper
  • Marker or pen
  • Candle or LED candle
  • Decor (optional: napkins, paints, glitter, etc.).

Instructions:

1. Choosing a pumpkin:

Find a nice looking pumpkin. It is best to choose a pumpkin with a flat surface and a sturdy stalk.

2. Marking:

Using a marker, draw a circle (or shape for the lid) on the top of the pumpkin, then draw a face or pattern on the front of the pumpkin. This will help you know where to cut.

3. Carving the lid:

Carefully cut out the circle (or shape) on the top of the pumpkin using a knife. Be careful not to damage the walls of the pumpkin.

4. Cleaning the pumpkin:

Using a spoon or scraper, remove seeds and fibers from inside the pumpkin. Make sure the walls are smooth and clean.

5. Carving the face:

Cut out the eyes, nose and mouth according to your drawing. You can make any shape you want: scary, smiling, or funny!

6. Adding light:

Place a candle or LED candle inside the pumpkin. If you use a real candle, make sure you leave a hole for ventilation and never leave it unattended.

7. Decorating (optional):

You can further decorate your pumpkin with various decorative elements such as glitter, paint or stickers.

8. Display your pumpkin:

Find a suitable place for your pumpkin and set it up for everyone to see. Place it on a windowsill or on the front steps.

Safety:

Be careful with knives and sharp objects.

If children are involved, have them do safe tasks such as painting or removing seeds.

Now you have a beautiful pumpkin for Halloween! Good luck and have fun!
