For the British readers, in the manner of Blue Peter, here’s one I made earlier.

Very simple to do, hollow out your pumpkin, roughly sketch an outline of your dog – from a photo, (unless yours is very well trained to pose for craft activities) Then take a small knife and slowly follow the edge. I had plans to do markings and and eye, but soon gave up that ambitious approach. It went down a treat with the local kids last year, so why not give it a go with your dog.

Happy Halloween!
