Pumpkin Carving & Seed Roasting for Kids (Made Easy!)
Posted on 09/20/2026
How to Carve a Pumpkin
- Cut the top: Slice around the stem at a slight inward angle so the lid doesn't fall inside.
- Scoop the insides: Use a strong metal spoon or a scraping tool to remove all pulp and seeds.
- Carve your design: Sketch your face or tape a stencil on the shell, then use a small serrated knife to saw along the lines.
How to Roast Pumpkin Seeds
- Clean the seeds: Separate the seeds from the stringy pulp in a colander under cool water. Pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
- Season: Toss the dry seeds with a little olive oil or melted butter and a dash of salt.
- Bake: Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F until golden and crisp, watching closely as they can toast in 5 to 20 minutes
