What You'll Need

• Pumpkin(s)

• Pumpkin Carving Kit

• Tape

• runDisney Pumpin Carving Templates

  • Running Mickey
  • Running Shoe

How To Make

• Download and print your favorite pumpkin carving design template- we have two fun runDisney inspired options for you to choose from, a Running Mickey Mouse or a running shoe.
• Next tape your template to your pumpkin in the area you want it to go.
• Score the design into the skin of the pumpkin by poking holes through the template with a plastic poking tool, available in most carving kits.

• Carve by starting at the center of the design, working outward – this avoids putting pressure on areas already carved. Begin with the innermost and smallest details. As each shape loosens up, gently push it out of the pumpkin with a finger or a dull pencil point.

  • Pumpkin Pro Tip: If you cut something you didn't intend to, perform a pumpkin surgery: stick a toothpick through the flesh side of the piece and fit it back into place.

• Lastly, put your new jack-o'-lantern in a place of honor (away from flammables), and remember to blow out all candles before you go to sleep.
