A jack-o'-lantern is a fun project. What are the steps to craft one? First, pick a pumpkin from the patch. Look for a pumpkin that has a flat bottom.

It should rest on its own. Next is the messy step. An adult should cut a hole on the top. The hole can be a circle or other shape.

An adult lifts the top off. The top has a stem. Then, you help dig out the inside. You can use your hands or a big shovel.

You will pull out slime and pulp. You can collect the pulp in a bucket. Mop up any mess with a napkin. Now for the fun part!

You plan a face. What shapes will you use? An adult does the cutting. They can chop out the shapes.

They can sculpt a fun face. Your jack-o'-lantern is a splendid object. The last step is to fill the pumpkin with light. Pop a small light in.

Look at your pumpkin. What a fun project!
