The Perfect Pumpkin

You’ve visited the pumpkin patch and picked the best one there—now it’s time to get it ready for the big night! These easy pumpkin carving tips will make yours the best on the block.

Get started: Set your gourd in the center of a flattened Collapsible Serving Bowl to keep the mess to a minimum. The silicone ring will keep your pumpkin in place, and the outer ridge will keep seeds and pulp contained.

Put a lid on it: Cut out a lid with My Safe Cutter. Carve a small notch into your lid so you know exactly how to replace it later on. Make sure your cut isn’t completely vertical, or your lid will fall into the pumpkin!

The inside scoop: Get all the pumpkin guts out with a Scoop Loop®. The edge is slightly serrated so it’s perfect for getting all the pulp out—plus, it’s totally safe for kids to use!

Face off: Now you’re ready to create your own spooky or silly design. Use the tips and tricks below!


You can use The Corer™ to make a happy face. It looks especially cute on a large white pumpkin with a carrot for the nose—just like a pumpkin snowman!


Get the kids involved! My Safe Cutter makes it easy for little hands to carve classic designs.


For truly ghoulish gourds, you can use the Core & More to clean and carve squash or even zucchini!
