Traditionally, children carve pumpkins while adults do other things. This is a great activity that all members of your family can do together. However, that doesn’t mean you should cut the traditional Jack O’Lantern way out of the pumpkin. You can get creative with scary and funny faces and different creatures. Here are some ideas to help you get started with your 2014 Halloween pumpkin carving! good ghost
Pumpkin carving ideas for Halloween 2021.
Shape the face of iron man
If your child is obsessed with Marvel superheroes, they will probably love the Iron Man pumpkin for Halloween! She can even use her favorite photos of her son or daughter dressed as Iron Man to get the perfect sculpting angles. Draw the eyes and mouth before cutting out the rest of the face, this will make it so much easier!
Snuff Pig Pumpkin Carving Tutorial
If you’re looking for simple (yet fun) ideas, check out this trailing pig design that’s going to be super popular with pumpkin carvers this year. To create the pig’s face, first cut out the holes for the eyes, this will help position the nostrils closer to the ground. Next, carefully cut round nostrils below each eye hole (but don’t worry if they’re not symmetrical). Finally, carefully dig out the mouth area.
Big Face Pumpkin Carving Tutorial
This pumpkin has become another favorite this year! Two eyes, a nose and a big smiling mouth are enough to give it shape. Cut out the eyes first, then use your fingers to smooth out the rest of the shape until you’re happy with the result. If you’re creating sculptures that look too deep or too sharp for the skin (such as eyebrows), feel free to sand those areas before painting.
Grease zipper gourd carving instructions.
If your child loves John Travolta’s Grease CD, we’ve got a face for him! This fun design has everything from hinges and hair tips to a raised eyebrow that’s sure to make your neighbors laugh. You can even cut a simple lightning bolt pattern on both sides of the pumpkin if you want to go all out!
Pumpkin Carving Ideas for Dogs
Dogs love treats just as much as humans and pumpkins are no exception. If your dog loves sculpture, why not let him participate in this activity? All you have to do is draw his favorite shape (or face) of him on the pumpkin and let him eat while you watch. Make sure he doesn’t bite into too much, leave some parts of the pumpkin intact instead!
Owl Pumpkin Carving Workshop
If you want to carve something easy this Halloween, check out this owl face. You can make this pumpkin carving design even more fun by painting the inside of each mouth red, which gives a cool 3D effect when looking at the final creation from different angles!
Ghost Pumpkin Carving Tutorial
One of our favorite designs is definitely this ghost design! While it may seem difficult at first, all you have to do is cut out four large circles to get started. Then carefully cut out the lines of these circles so they resemble the outlines of the eyes and mouth. Once you have all six “eyes”, you can start adding their hair and other facial features for a completely creepy product. Have fun with the colors or patterns you choose to sculpt this Halloween! Just make sure you have enough pumpkins for the whole family.
pumpkin carving pattern
Use this template to carve a Minecraft-themed pumpkin. Just attach it and go! Remember that the pattern works best on pumpkins that are the same size. If your local grocery store runs out of baby pumpkins, reuse the template and color in the unwanted parts with a black marker after you cut them out.
You can also print this template for more challenges! Note: This may not fit exactly on some pumpkin shapes, so adjust as needed. You can always use markers to fill in uncovered areas if needed. Happy Halloween!

This Batman pumpkin design is perfect for your favorite little superhero who wants to help carve out Halloween night!

Then, using different sized spoons and cookie cutters, cut out the eyes, nose, and mouth until they are how you want them to be. You’ll be done before you know it, and so will he!
