Mischievous Jack-o'-Lantern With Crescent Eyes and Jagged Teeth

A round pumpkin with a short, chunky stem sits on the ground, its face carved into a wide, crooked grin. The eyes are two thick crescent shapes that curve downward and point toward the center, which gives the pumpkin a sly, mischievous look. A small triangle makes the nose, and the big smile has uneven blocky teeth along the bottom edge. Vertical ridges run down the whole pumpkin, and short hatch marks add shading on the sides and near the stem. A few quick lines at the bottom suggest the ground. The ridged sections are a good place to try a color gradient. Use yellow near the carved face, then blend into orange and a deeper red-orange toward the outer edges. Kids can also practice staying inside the thick carved lines on the eyes and teeth. This free printable works well for a Halloween table activity.
