This Orange Pepper Pumpkin Carving activity for Halloween is perfect for little hands to make. So much easier than pumpkin carving and gives children the independence to carve their own spooky Halloween orange pepper pumpkin. Why not roast them once made to see how they turn out or just eat them up as a tasty snack.

You will need:

  • Orange peppers - ask parents/carers to bring these in if needs be or ask local supermarkets if they could perhaps donate.

  • Battery operated candle

Instructions for how to carve an orange pepper pumpkin:

  • Scoop out the seeds
  • Allow children to carve out triangular eyes and nose
  • Carve out a slit for the mouth - add teeth at the corners (older children)
  • Add a battery-operated tea light for a magical spooky glowing pumpkin
