Happy Halloween! In some parts of the country trick-or-treating is limited. However, you can still make this day fun for the kids, friends and family alike. Grab some pumpkins and carving tools and get to work making funny faces to display. In this video, I decided to try Pumpkin Masters' Pumpkin Carving Kit.
The pumpkin tools are a bit small, but they still are not safe for children under 3 years old and do require adult supervision. The tools provided in the kit did get the job done, but you will have to have a bit of patience while you carve. Overall, it was a fun activity that I believe you and your kids will enjoy. The 10 designs are labeled by difficulty level so you know what you're getting yourself into before you try each one. I would recommend that you use medium-size pumpkins to make sure that you can completely flatten the design on the pumpkin before using plastic wrap to keep everything in place as you carve. I used LED lights inside each pumpkin and they worked well. I displayed each pumpkin creation on the front porch, which added character to my Fall decor.
Halloween may be a little different this year, but don't let that stop you from having fun with the family anyway. If you have "Halloween at Home" ideas leave them in the comments below for others to read. Have fun!
