Pumpkin Carving

A night in the pumpkin patch, a workbench, and a pumpkin that cuts like the real thing.

CARVE ANYTHING

Every pumpkin is a real hollow shell. Saw, slice or stab through the skin wherever you like - close a shape and the piece pops out in your hand, with the flesh showing in the cut. Eyes, teeth, cats, bats, your name, whatever you can draw.

THE WHOLE RITUAL

Saw a circle round the stem and lift the lid off (seeds and all). Scoop the stringy guts into the bowl. Peel the skin with the paring knife for a glowing etched design. Drop the tealight inside, set the lid back on, and ring the bell to hand it in.

DESIGN YOUR OWN

Pick one of eight stencils on the board - classic, spooky, happy, angry, surprised, starry, cat and bat - and follow the dashed guide lines, or grab the marker and draw your own design straight onto the pumpkin, then carve along the ink.

SIX PUMPKINS, ONE PORCH

Classic, Tall, Ghost, Cinderella, Goblin and a little Mini. Earn stars for a clean match, a clean inside and a lit candle. Stars unlock new varieties, new stencils and the dagger. Every jack-o’-lantern you finish floats over to the porch rail and glows there for good.

A COSY HALLOWEEN NIGHT

String lights, a lantern on the bench, hay bales, a scarecrow, dead trees against a full moon, crickets, an owl now and then, and a pumpkin patch stretching out to a lit farmhouse.
