Choose a nice big pumpkin. Make sure it is a carving pumpkin and not for eating. Wipe the pumpkin with a wet cloth to remove all that pumpkin patch dirt and make sure to dry it off!
Draw on a creative face! Use a permanent marker to draw whatever face you'd like. Whether scary or funny make sure it's all positioned correctly!
Cut off the top. Make sure to cut at an angle so the top sits on the pumpkin like a lid. Cut the stringy parts off the top's underside.
Scrap out the insides! Use a spoon or store-bought scooper to remove all the gooey insides and seeds. This is the most fun part! Save the seeds to roast later.
Cut out the face. A serrated knife is safest and works best to help you follow along your drawn lines. Be careful no to cut yourself!
Light a small candle and place it inside. Prepare to be scared!
