I have lots of fun memories of pumpkin carving as a child. Though I look a bit less enthusiastic (pictured) than my younger sister at the table, it may have been because she was playing with the guts and I was actually working to sort out those seeds for roasting - yum!

In fact when I was in college one of the most fun fall nights I ever had involved carving pumpkins. A group of us got some pumpkins from the local market, bought some of those carving knives and had a blast!

I think the Pumpkin Carving Kit from the Lemonade Stand is a great kit for anyone wishing to recapture that Halloween magic of pumpkin carving.

This whimsical kit contains everything a family needs for a session of autumnal fun: miniature tools for carving and embellishing, two plastic spiders, a candle, and a 32 page book that offers a wealth of creative tips and techniques for artistic patterns and designs. What more could you ask for?

Get one and put your mark on a pumpkin this fall!
