How to carve a cute pumpkin stencil
Round is the rule. Use short saw strokes and turn the pumpkin as you go so curves stay smooth, since a jagged edge undoes the cuteness. Big round eyes are the focal point; cut them cleanly and leave a small uncut highlight dot inside each so the eyes look shiny.
Cute pumpkins work anywhere kids will see them: a window, the kitchen table, or a nursery-friendly porch. Pair a cute cat with a cute owl for a little woodland scene.
