25 Toddler Funny Pumpkin Stencils

We curated 25 of the very best toddler funny pumpkin stencils so you can pick one and start carving in minutes.

1. Snarling Bat Pumpkin Stencil
A wide-winged bat stretches nearly edge to edge in this easy bat pumpkin stencil, its wing panels divided by bold vein lines and a snarling cartoon face centered in the body. The wings are the large pierced areas that glow brightest, while the vein lines and the face details remain as solid orange strips inside the cutout. Carve the small pointed fangs in the face before tackling the big wing panels, so the blade has firm pumpkin wall support when making those fine cuts.

2. Winking Face Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
A round emoji face with one eye winking shut and the other squinting in a spiral, a wide grin, and a tongue sticking out fills this easy pumpkin stencil. The large circular face outline, the wink line, the spiral eye, the smile strip, and the tongue are all solid orange wall, while the areas around them are pierced so the whole face glows from within. Carve the tongue's narrow center notch before removing the wide background cuts, since the notch is the tightest detail and easiest to slip on with excess pumpkin removed around it.

3. Game Over Pumpkin Stencil
"GAME OVER" fills this easy pumpkin stencil in two stacked rows of chunky 8-bit pixel font lettering, each character built from squared-off rectangular blocks with notched corners that read unmistakably as retro video game text. Every letter interior is cut through, and the negative space between characters is narrow but distinct. The squared notches at the corners of each letter are the trickiest spots to keep clean; use the tip of a narrow blade to score those inside corners before opening the main letter body.

4. Weary Face Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The weary face emoji is recreated here as a jack-o-lantern pumpkin stencil: a large circular face outline holds two sets of drooping curved eyebrow-and-eyelid pairs that express exhaustion, a wide open mouth with squared-off upper teeth, and a small chin sweat drop below. All the interior shapes are cut through as separate pieces nested inside the face circle. Carve the tiny sweat drop below the chin first since it is isolated and easy to lose track of, then work upward through the teeth, mouth, and finally the eye arcs.

5. Thumbs Down Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
A thumbs-down hand emoji is the subject of this easy pumpkin stencil: a clenched fist with four horizontal oval finger cutouts stacked on the right side, a large curved palm-and-back-of-hand mass pierced by a banana-shaped opening on the left, and a downward-pointing thumb teardrop at the bottom. The lit result shows the negative space of the knuckles and palm glowing while the solid pumpkin skin traces the finger outlines. Cut the four finger ovals first while the surrounding skin is still rigid, then remove the larger palm opening.

6. Tears of Joy Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
This emoji pumpkin stencil captures the classic tears-of-joy face: a large circular outline frames squinting crescent eyes, a wide open-mouth smile, and two teardrop shapes streaming from the outer eye corners. Most of the interior is pierced through, leaving thin curved bridges for the eyes, brow shapes, and a tongue strip inside the mouth. When lit, the laughing face reads instantly from across a porch. Keep the two small teardrop cutouts for last, as they are isolated from the main body and can shift if the stencil loosens.

7. Grinning Ghost Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoonish ghost with a jagged, wide-open grin full of pointed teeth flies across this easy pumpkin stencil. Wild claw-like hands reach out from the sides, and a wisp of tail curls below. The ghost body and the negative spaces inside the grin are both cut through, while the pointed teeth are left as solid pumpkin wall. When lit, the teeth appear as dark orange spikes floating in the glowing mouth. Carve the jagged mouth points with slow, deliberate strokes rather than trying to follow the zigzag in one continuous cut.

8. Thumbs Up Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
A thumbs-up hand emoji fills this easy pumpkin stencil: a large upward-pointing thumb teardrop at the top, a broad curved palm-and-knuckle mass in the center, four stacked horizontal oval finger cutouts on the right, and a small curved side-panel on the left. When lit, the stacked ovals glow as distinct bright bars above the palm opening, reading immediately as a raised-fist thumbs-up. Cut the four finger ovals before removing the larger central palm section so the surrounding skin remains firm while you make the smaller, more precise cuts.

9. Surprised Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The surprised face emoji is translated into a pumpkin stencil with wide round eyes, a furrowed brow, a small nose bump, and a large open oval mouth. The face disc is partially cut away around the perimeter leaving a crescent of solid pumpkin at the top and right side; the eyes are rings with solid centers, and the mouth is a solid oval pierce. When lit, the face glows with an expression of shock. Carve the ring-shaped eye borders carefully: cut the outer circle first, then the inner pupil circle, leaving the solid dot of pumpkin wall between them untouched to preserve the iris-ring detail.

10. Cyclops Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A quirky one-eyed long-necked creature with a rounded bird-like body, a spiral cyclops eye, and a jagged toothed mouth stands on two stubby feet in this easy Halloween pumpkin stencil. The body is largely pierced through as a dark void while the eye ring and neck details remain as uncut pumpkin. The thin neck connecting the large head to the body is the most delicate bridge in the design, so carve the body void and the mouth teeth first, then cut around the neck last to keep it from snapping early.

11. Smiling Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
A round smiley-face emoji with tousled hair rendered in chunky pumpkin-skin islands fills a large circular cutout on this emoji pumpkin stencil, with squinting eye arcs and a wide open-toothed grin kept as uncut bridges glowing warm orange against the lit void. The outer circle is the single largest cut, and the interior face elements are held in place by the skin bridges. Carve the interior details first, starting with the two small eye-crescent cuts, then the mouth gap, and only after those are complete open the big circular surround to avoid the face islands shifting.

12. Screaming Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The screaming face emoji is translated into this jack-o-lantern pumpkin stencil as a wide circular head with two large oval eyes, a rectangular open mouth, two small cheek shapes at the sides, and a row of drippy stalactite shapes hanging from the top of the head. All cut elements are bold and rounded with generous spacing between them, making the design beginner-friendly despite the number of pieces. Cut the small cheek ovals before the large eye ovals so they are supported by the intact surrounding flesh when the blade passes close.

13. Silly Ghost Pumpkin Stencil
Two mismatched swirly ghost eyes sit above a drooping, blobby mouth on this easy Halloween pumpkin stencil, all three shapes floating as separate cut-outs that suggest a goofy, startled expression. The eyes are different sizes, one comma-shaped and one crescent, giving the face an off-kilter cartoon charm. Since the three pieces are not connected, tape the stencil very flat and cut the smaller eye first, then the larger eye, leaving the wide mouth cutout for last so the pumpkin stays rigid while you work the tighter shapes.

14. Cartoon Spider Pumpkin Stencil
A chubby cartoon spider with a scowling face fills this easy pumpkin stencil, its round body cut away at the center while the angry brow, fang, and eye pupils remain as uncut pumpkin. Four stubby curved legs arc outward on each side, each one a separate pierced cutout that glows individually when lit. Because the legs are disconnected islands of cuts, carve the body cavity first to anchor your alignment, then cut each leg segment outward so none of the narrow pumpkin bridges between legs get accidentally snapped.

15. Cartoon Ghost Pumpkin Stencil
A cartoon ghost floats upright in this easy pumpkin stencil, with a swirling curl at the top of its rounded head, two three-fingered hands spread wide at its sides, and an oval body that dissolves into a trailing tail. The interior body region and surrounding cut-away areas are pierced through while the ghost outline and a central oval chest patch remain as solid skin. Because the design is mostly open cuts, the pumpkin glows bright around the solid ghost shape for a classic reverse-silhouette look.

16. ROFL Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The rolling-on-the-floor laughing emoji face fills this pumpkin stencil as a large round circle with squeezed-shut eyes, a wide open grin, and a single tear of joy near one eye. The outer circle outline is pierced, the eye slashes are cut through, and the broad curved mouth is a large open section, so light floods through the whole composition at once. Because the outer ring has almost no solid wall around it, cut the eye slashes and teardrop first to establish interior reference points, then follow the outer circle last to avoid distorting the round shape prematurely.

17. Puking Jack-o-Lantern Pumpkin Stencil
This Halloween pumpkin stencil shows a scowling jack-o-lantern face above a wide open mouth with a round bowl shape inside, from which a blob of chunky dripping gunk spills downward in an irregular mass. Narrow slash-shaped eyes and angular brow lines above the mouth convey disgust, while the dripping mass below is a single large pierced area with ragged edges. Cut the small eye and brow slashes first, then tackle the wide drip outline last, since it spans most of the lower pumpkin and removing it early would destabilize the wall for the detail work above.

18. Kawaii Pizza Slice Pumpkin Stencil
A kawaii pizza slice takes center stage in this pumpkin stencil: the triangular slice has a curved crust bar across the top, a cute face with crescent-shaped eyes and a small smile, circular pepperoni cutouts, and two thin diagonal lines suggesting arms. All the face features, pepperoni circles, and the space surrounding the slice are pierced through, while the slice outline and crust shape remain solid. Cut the tiny crescent eyes and smile first before the circular pepperoni holes, which are easier to control while the surrounding skin is still intact.

19. Handlebar Mustache Pumpkin Stencil
A wide, curling handlebar mustache is the sole design element of this introductory pumpkin stencil, carved as a single large open shape that sweeps across the pumpkin face. The ends curl upward and outward in tight spirals, while the center dips in a gentle U. The entire mustache is pierced through as one connected opening, so the glow reads as a bold, immediately legible silhouette. Because the cut is one continuous piece, score the center dip first and work outward toward each curled tip to keep the shape from shifting as material is removed.

20. OK Hand Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The OK hand gesture fills this pumpkin stencil: the thumb and forefinger curve together to form a circle at center, while the middle and ring fingers extend upward as two solid tapered strips of pumpkin skin. The surrounding negative space and the interior of the OK ring are cut away, so the lit jack-o-lantern shows bold finger shapes and a glowing circle against the interior light. The narrow channel between the two upright fingers is the tightest cut, so make that pass in a single stroke without stopping mid-way.

21. Crying Emoji Pumpkin Stencil
The loudly crying face emoji is rendered as a large circular face with swooping hands pressed to the cheeks, closed scrunched eyes, and twin waterfalls of tears streaming down from the eyes to the chin. The circular outline is pierced through, and the face features are solid orange islands floating within the big cutout. When lit, the pumpkin stencil reads as an instantly recognizable emoji silhouette. The thin vertical tear-stream bridges are the most fragile part of this design; cut the large outer ring first and save the tear columns for last.

22. Round Cartoon Monster Pumpkin Stencil
A small round cartoon monster occupies this pumpkin stencil: a chunky body with two large circular eyes, a frowning row of square teeth, a curly stem-like antenna on top, sideways horns, stubby arm appendages, and splayed feet all carved as separate islands of light. The design has many floating cut-through pieces spread across the face of the pumpkin. Start with the two circular eye holes since they are the most central reference points, then position the surrounding appendage cuts relative to them.

23. Alien Face Pumpkin Stencil
An alien face with a wide oval cranium fills this pumpkin stencil, featuring two large bulging almond-shaped eyes with small hooked inner corners, a two-dot nose, a curved smile, and a rounded forehead band rendered as arcing cut-through lines. The eye shapes and facial features are each separate pierces, while the outer oval head outline is also cut away, framing everything in open light. The narrow forehead arc is the most fragile element, so score it fully before pushing through to avoid it snapping midway.

24. LOL Pumpkin Stencil
Three bold serif letters spell out "LOL" in a wide horizontal layout, each character sized to fill the pumpkin face from top to bottom. The letters are fully pierced through, so the finished jack-o-lantern reads the internet acronym in glowing orange against the night. Cut the interior counters of the "O" first, since those small oval shapes can crack if you clear the surrounding area before removing them.

25. Jack-o-Lantern with Glasses Pumpkin Stencil
A classic jack-o-lantern face wearing oversized rectangular glasses makes up this beginner pumpkin stencil. The eyebrow is a wide arched strip across the top, the glasses frame is a connected pair of rectangular loops each containing a circular lens opening, a triangular nose sits below, and a broad grinning mouth with one dripping fang dominates the lower half. The thick glasses frame and face outlines remain solid while the lens circles, nose triangle, and mouth are cut through. Cut the two circular lens openings inside the glasses before the wide mouth, so the frame bridge between the lenses stays firm.
