Pumpkin carving can be creative but messy, so safety comes first. Children should only draw and clean the pumpkin; adults handle cutting.
-
Allow Drawing: Kids can sketch designs with chalk or washable markers.
-
Adults Cut: Use small pumpkin saws instead of knives for safety. Consider LED candles instead of real flames.
-
Alternative Activities: If cutting is risky, let kids decorate with paper, stickers, or paint.
-
Creative Kits: Use puppet or pumpkin painting kits for fun, low-mess activities.
