Carving the perfect Jack-O-Lantern for Halloween is a fun and exciting activity for the whole family. First, visualizing its face, then opening the top, scooping out all the mush, separating the seeds from the gooey orange insides, then getting to the fun part — giving your Jack-O-Lantern its own personality. From spooky to sweet, the ideas are endless! More importantly, this is an amazing time to gather kids of all ages together and have fun with one another during the busy fall season of practices and homework.
