Smiling Jack-o'-Lantern Pumpkin with Curly Vines

A round jack-o'-lantern fills the page, with a thick stem on top and two curly vine tendrils that spiral out to each side. The pumpkin has big ridged sections running down its body. The carved face has two large round eyes, a small triangle nose with an inner outline, and a wide grinning mouth with a couple of jagged teeth. A center line runs down the middle of the face, and a few wavy ground lines sit at the bottom corners. The shapes are large and the lines are bold, so it works well for younger kids using crayons or chunky markers. Try coloring the outer pumpkin ridges in a few different shades of orange, then pick a bright color for the eyes, nose, and mouth so the carved face looks like it glows. The free printable is also good for talking about how real pumpkins are carved.
