Jack O Lantern Pumpkin Carving

• Candle
• Marker
• Paper
• Pumpkin
• Scissors
• Sharp Knife

• Trace the child's hands on the paper.
• Draw out the eye-stencil pattern, two pointed eyebrows, drop-shaped nostrils and an inverted triangle (with corners rounded off) for the mouth.
• Cut out the lid of the pumpkin and empty its contents.
• Tape the paper pattern on the pumpkin and trace eyes, nostrils and mouth on it using dotted line with the tip of the knife.
• Trace the hands to both the sides of the pumpkin.
• Peel off the paper and carefully carve out the pattern on the pumpkin using the knife.
• Remember to hold the knife a little at angle with handle a little upwards and tip of the knife facing downwards.
• Take your time to carve it smoothly and then give the pieces a little push from inside so they fall out.
• Fix the candle inside by burning it, pour a drop or two of molten wax and attach the candle base to it.
• Burn the candle and your scared Jack O Lantern is ready for Halloween.
