These can be picked from your own garden or purchased from a store or farmers market. A pumpkins size can range from small to really large. You will then need to cut a hole around the stem of the pumpkin usually large enough to fit your hand through. When doing any cutting on the pumpkin you should do the cutting yourself because you need to use a sharp knife to cut through the pumpkin s rind. Which could end up being dangerous for children.
Stores do carry special cutting packages which are safe for children to use.
After your done removing the pumpkin s insides you should use a spoon to scrape around the edges of the pumpkin so the inside of the pumpkin is smooth. If you want you can save the pumpkin seeds and roast them in the oven to eat as a yummy treat. After your done doing this you can draw a face design on the pumpkin. You should draw two eyes on the top, a nose in the middle between the eyes and a mouth. You can use any shapes you want like triangles, circles and squares to name a few.
