Begin by scalping pumpkin, remove top of skull pumpkin and begin to scoop out brains ... seeds and gunk and stuff....

Brains seeds go into bucket for wifey to make spiced baked pumpkin seeds ... soooo good

Kids couldn't actually carve their own pumpkins... although they really wanted to, probably a few more years to get enough strength to actually cut it, and not cut their own hands off. However, I did manage to get them to pick different patterns. As a dad.... this is a success.

In no way am I a master pumpkin carver, but this was a fun activity with my kids, and I needed some good material for my dadblog posts lol.

I can’t wait to do this activity with my little one when he is older!

Do anything with the pumpkin guts? Seeds? Pie? Or maybe those aren't that good in carving pumpkins. Mmmm

Any time with the kids is 100% worth the time.

Love the whale and the dolphins in the side! Such a fun idea. 😊

Awww cute!!! Looks like so much fun!
