Carving Pumpkins
If you are buying pumpkins to carve for decoration at home, we recommend guides like this one from BBC Good Food who also have links to pumpkin carving templates and ideas.  Also, supermarkets often have pumpkin carving kits like this one that can be purchased from Amazon - parental supervision is recommended at all times.  From a safety perspective, it is recommended to use battery operated candles or tealights that can be found easily online or in stores such as Poundland, The Range or B&M.
