Pumpkin Templates

Pumpkin templates are the perfect way to transform those plain pumpkins you picked at the patch. Pumpkin templates make it possible to turn an everyday pumpkin into an expressive jack-o-lantern without artistic talent or a major investment.  Saving money is almost as good as earning it!
To carve the pumpkin, use a small saw or knife. An ice cream scoop works well to clean out the seeds and insides. An adult should always be in charge of this task. Also keep candles and matches away from little ones.

Pumpkin templates are available online. Print your favorites to guide you during the final carving process. Push pins hold pumpkin templates where you want them so you can mark the spots or carve them right out.

Do you want a sad pumkin, happy Jack or ghoulish grin? There are pumpkin templates for every preference.

The SpookMaster website has a wealth of information about carving along with an array of interesting templates. Check out the free pumpkin templates at SpookMaster.
