How to carve a dinosaur pumpkin stencil
Most dinosaur designs are silhouettes with a toothy open mouth. Cut the body outline as one opening, working from tail to head, and finish the back spikes and teeth with a knife. On a T. rex, cut the eye through and leave the teeth as uncut points hanging into the mouth opening.
Put the dinosaur pumpkin among the garden plants so it looks like it is stomping through a jungle. Kids love adding plastic dinosaurs around it.
