Here’s one of the pumpkins we carved for my class. One of my students drew the silhouetted cat using a black permanent marker.
I was really surprised to find out that we didn’t need a sharp knife to carve our pumpkins. We used a common butter knife and it worked perfectly, even for such a detailed pumpkin.
It gets a bit messy making Jack-o-lanterns in the classroom, but the kids really enjoy it. Some of them get quite creative with it as well.
This is the first one I’ve seen in a few years that wasn’t the typical face design. She did a great job on it!
I hope you have a safe and happy Halloween today!

Hi Chase .. I love the cat – what a fantastic idea and so realistic – glad the class enjoyed the pumpkin time in class .. fun! Cheers Hilary
Hi Hilary,
It certainly turned out better that I thought it would. I will have to think of what other silhouettes we can try for next year.
Cheers!
