Cut notches in your pumpkin parts to help them to exploit gravity, resting against the plywood or against each other. Then wire them in as needed. Second, take your time. Carving pumpkins is not a race! Rushing through the process can lead to mistakes. Kids will love carving their favorite dinosaur on a pumpkin. Popular dinosaurs include Triceratops, T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Brontosaurus, Velociraptor, Pterodactyl, Ankylosaurus, and more! Looking for a new and fun way to decorate your pumpkin this year?

One of the simplest ways to do a dinosaur pumpkin is simply by carving the initials i.e. T Rex. You could paint it different shades of green and carve these 4 letters. This could easily be done in 30 minutes. On the 1 st of November, the Romans celebrated a harvest festival dedicated to the goddess Pomona, goddess of plenty and abundance. Part of the festivities involved unmarried, young people attempting to bite into an apple floating in water or suspended from a string. The first to bite into the apple would be deemed next in line to marry. This tradition became embedded in Celtic festivals, like Samhain, and has naturally been adopted into Halloween celebrations. One of the colloquial names given to the 31 st October, in Britain at least, was ‘Snap-Apple Night’, deriving from this practice, and later developing into the modern Halloween game of ‘Bobbing-for-Apples’.

A drill: A drill can be used to create holes in your pumpkin for eyes, mouths, or other designs. You can also use it to create texture on your pumpkin by drilling small holes all over the surface.

Pumpkin carving templates: These can also be used to create complex designs on your pumpkin. Simply print out the template and tape it to the pumpkin. Then use a sharp knife to cut along the outlines. Fast fun fact: The Spinosaurus was about 49 feet tall (comparable to a 5 story building), and weighed between 7-20 tons, or about the equivalent of 3 male elephants.

Unless you're crafting to impressive tolerances, your skeleton will be a bit wobbly when assembled. A few well-placed screws will remove the wobble and improve portability. Drill small holes here and there in the plywood skeleton, and bend a bit of wire hangar into a hole. Curve the other end up into a smooth 4-inch curve, which will serve as a "hook" upon which you can impale your dino-parts. First, be sure to use a sharp knife. A dull knife will make the process more difficult and can result in accidents. You just print out the stencil, attach it to your pumpkin and use it as a guide to make an outline on your pumpkin. When you carve, use a pumpkin carving kit, and then follow the outline you made to cut the dinosaur shape out. It’s much easier than trying to do it by hand. Arrange your pumpkins on the table, along with your carving tools, candles, and patterns. Make sure everything is within reach of everyone who will be participating.

We receive a lot of questions about the tools we use to carve our pumpkins. There are many pumpkin carving tools on the market. One of our favorites is the tiny serrated orange plastic pumpkin carving knife found at almost any store this time of year. They might seem small and cheap, but they really do the best job at carving small details into the pumpkin.
