Making a Jack-o’-lantern

Halloween has come and gone but we still have our jack-o’-lanterns sitting outside our house. It’s fun carving out faces but not always easy.

You have to get the right tools for marking, scooping, cutting, and carving.

You then take a nice big pumpkin and set it on a flat surface.

You grab your tools, cut a hole at the top, and scoop out all the seeds and everything inside the pumpkin out.

After that you carve out a face.

Give it one final check.

Lastly you place a light inside and turn it on. We used an electrical light but a candle works too.
