Carving A Toddler’s Pumpkin

Tips & Tricks for Helping Toddlers Carve Their First Pumpkin 🎃

👉🏻1. Kid-Safe Tools: Use plastic pumpkin carving kits and scoops. They’re safer for little hands!

👉🏻2. Cookie Cutters: Press metal cookie cutters into the pumpkin to create easy shapes. Let them help with a wooden mallet to hammer the cutter in!

👉🏻3. Scoop It Out: Turn pumpkin gut scooping into a sensory activity! They’ll love the “slimy” feel.

👉🏻4. Draw First: Let them use washable markers or stickers to design the pumpkin before carving begins.

👉🏻5. Small Pumpkins: Try starting with a mini pumpkin for smaller hands to manage.

This year, I grew a 101-pound pumpkin! We picked it today, and my little one dove right in, scooping and helping carve it into a giant jack-o-lantern. He even thought the pumpkin guts were slime—it was a blast!
