Halloween: How to carve a pumpkin

Pumpkin carving is a fun and easy way to decorate your home for Halloween. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

Choose a pumpkin. The best pumpkins for carving are large and round. Avoid pumpkins that have blemishes or cracks.

Clean your pumpkin. Wipe down the pumpkin with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris.

Cut a lid off the pumpkin. The lid should be about 1/3 the size of the pumpkin.

Remove the seeds and pulp. Use a spoon or your hands to remove the seeds and pulp from the pumpkin.

Draw your design on the pumpkin. You can use a pen or pencil to draw your design on the pumpkin.

Carve your pumpkin. Use a sharp knife to carve out your design.

Display your pumpkin. Place your pumpkin on your doorstep or in a window so that everyone can see it.
