Kids love the annual tradition of carving Jack-o-lanterns for Halloween. To make a jack-o’-lantern, the top of a pumpkin is cut off to form a lid, the inside flesh is scooped out, and an image of a face is carved out of the rind exposing the hollow interior. A light source, traditionally a candle flame,’ but I recommend using a safer battery operated tea light, is placed within before the lid is closed.
Be sure to toast the pumpkin seeds you scoop out of the pumpkin with the kids for a healthy snack as well.
I have found using Jack-o-lantern kits with stainless steel stencils the easiest way to make Jack-o-lanterns.
Some of the best Jack-o-lantern carving kits with stencils include this Tavolozza Carving Kit with Steel Tools, the Luxital Jack-O-Lantern Kit, this WANNTS Pumpkin Carving Kit, the Beeplove Stainless Steel Carving Kit, and the Zizz Steel Pumpkin Carving Kit.
