Looking for a new and fun way to decorate your pumpkin this year? Why not try using a dinosaur pumpkin stencil! As mentioned before, there are some great ideas showcased at the parks each year, and this list has a few you can recreate at home. I love the idea of bringing the park home to your porch with pumpkin carving and using these fun ideas. Once you have decide your desired design, you will need to cut out the stencil and attach it to your pumpkin with tape. Make sure the template is securely attached to the pumpkin so it won’t move around while you’re carving.

If you’re looking to add some extra fun to your Halloween festivities this year, why not set up a pumpkin carving table? It’s a great way to get everyone involved in the holiday spirit, and it can be a lot of fun for all ages. Spider–I love the wire legs on this kooky, spooky spider. This is the type of pumpkin designs kids go nuts for.Second, take your time. Carving pumpkins is not a race! Rushing through the process can lead to mistakes.

Football Players–This one is for all the footballfans out there! Turn your pumpkin into a football player. You can even paint your favorite team’s name on the helmet. Not only will you have a spooky pumpkin on your hands, but you’ll also get to teach your little ones about some of the most famous dinosaurs. Mario Brothers–These Mario and Luigi pumpkins look pretty simple. Just add a little felt to a red and green hat to top them off, or grab some done-for-you hats here. UFO & Aliens–Here’s another super creative idea. Use a large pumpkin for the UFO and mini pumpkins for the aliens. I just love the pipe cleaner antennas.Sofia the First is my favorite, but there are several to choose from on this list. Even though my kids are older now, this is a great place to begin with making Disney pumpkins for your kids. Pumpkin carving can be messy, so make sure you have some wipes or paper towels handy to clean up any spills.
