Tip of the week- Creative pumpkin carving








The fall season is a great time to bond with family and friends, as we wait in suspense for all of the holidays approaching. One activity that comes to mind during the Halloween/fall season is pumpkin carving.


Sculpted pumpkins are a great decoration for the Halloween holiday. Placing them at entrance of a home or business creates a festive spirit for the harvest season. You can sculpt a simple jack-o'-lantern or carve an intricate design to show off your creative side.


Take your time to trace your design on the flattest surface of your pumpkin. With appropriate carving tools, you can help your child(ren) carefully cut into the pumpkin. This activity should be carefully supervised.

As children become more comfortable with the carving process, they gain more confidence as they cut more accurately along the outline. Pumpkin carving can really be a great outlet of creativity and art design for both child and adult.



Happy Harvest, enjoy the fall season!
