Halloween Pumpkin Carving Ideas

Pumpkin Carving is a must-do activity for Halloween, and it's something the whole family can get involved with! This year, why not push your creative limits and try something a bit different? Here are some of our favourites:

Toothpick pumpkin

If you're not advanced enough to carve out teeth, use toothpicks instead! Simple yet effective, and great for kids. Image credit www.livecrystalvalley.com.

Boo! pumpkin

Simple, yet brilliantly eye catching! For kids, why not spell out their name or your initials? Yes, it might take a lot of pumpkins, but worth it for the impact! Image credit www.allrecipes.com.

Cat pumpkin

Because Halloween doesn't have to be scary, why not make a cute animal instead! Photo credit: Melissa Reynolds-James (www.bbcgoodfood.com)

Nemo pumpkin

Speaking of cute, this Nemo design requires the minimum amount of carving, it's been painted instead! So adorable! Here's how to make it, image credit: www.asda.com
