Everyone will love the pumpkin version of this classic fall snack. We just recommend keeping it away from the bonfire!
As if Dubble Bubble wasn’t already hard enough to chew, now it’s a pumpkin! 4/5 dentists would not recommend trying to chew this one, but it does make for a great display if you want to hand out real bubble gum for Halloween!
We love sports so much, it was hard to pick just one sporty pumpkin, but the hockey pumpkin really won us over. How can you say no to the baby pumpkin puck as an added bonus?! You can also use googly eyes if you don’t want to carve out holes for the eyes.
Moms, this one is especially for you! Manifest that much needed spa day with your pumpkin this year. But make sure you use a real mask on your face, not the green paint 😊
Carve your favorite brand into a pumpkin! We’d recommend an i9 Sports® logo, but this Chick-fil-A pumpkin and Nike slogan examples were just too good not to show off.
We added this one for our more advanced pumpkin carvers. The VW pumpkin looks awesome lit up at night, but it does involve some shaving to achieve the lighter pumpkin color on top.
This is one of our favorites for outside-the-box thinkers. Not only does this involve cutting half of the pumpkin off, but you have to turn it on its side. This is a very fun and unique way for pirate lovers to carrrghve your pumpkin!
Looking to impress the neighborhood with your carving skills? We love this one! The hardest part about this design is finding pumpkins big enough and getting them to stay on top of one another. The shapes are relatively simple, and it will wow the kids coming up to your door this Halloween.
Put your carving and painting skills to the test with this sporty pumpkin idea! Get a smaller pumpkin and carve a face into it. Get a larger pumpkin that you can carve a helmet out of and put over the smaller pumpkin face. Paint the helmet your favorite team colors!
There are so many ideas to choose from, it can be overwhelming. But don’t worry, you can also keep it simple. Carve funny faces, use simple shapes to create a classic Jacko-lantern, or use stencils of your favorite characters. Now, get out there and start searching for your perfect pumpkins!
