Pumpkin Ideas

Halloween pumpkins are so much fun for the whole family. Coming up with ideas to carve can be the tricky part. Pumpkins come in so many shapes and sizes, just like people. These shapes and sizes in and of themselves and serve as the source for an idea.

Using several small pumpkins all in a row can be used to spell words or a phrase. Some ideas are: Happy Halloween, Trick or Treat, Scary, Spooky, Haunted House, Black Cat, or Turn Back Now. Use a different pumpkin for each letter. Line them up on the porch or use a bench to create rows or words. You can try just scraping the skin of the pumpkin and not cutting all the way through to make the shape for your letters. If you do this, you may want to scrape a little more flesh from behind that spot to allow more light through. This makes a really cool glow when you place the candle inside the pumpkin.
