When it comes to the first cut, you can either start from the top or bottom, depending on your design. Think of a character that you want to portray on your pumpkin and then pick one with the shape that works to your advantages. Once you have had the tools and the pumpkin to work on, it’s time to select a design (or designs) that you like. You might also want to grab some spray paint, linoleum cutters, and drill bits if you want to make a colorful and elaborate one. There are many kid-friendly carving kits on Amazon, which costs only a few dollars and comes with everything you need for your Halloween game.
Once you have found that perfect pumpkin, what you need then is a bowl, water, paper towels, a scraper, or measuring cup (melon ballers work too) for cleaning the inside of the pumpkin, some tiny saws, and an awl. You might also consider mini-pumpkins, white pumpkins, or these with bumps on them, depending on the design you choose. The best candidate is one orange pumpkin that’s firm, solid with no soft spots, cuts, or other damaged areas. Before we start carving our Halloween gourds, let’s talk about how to select a “perfect” one.
