Last year, I carved Ichigo from the Bleach anime wearing his hollow mask.
<<<<<<<<<

The kids went as soul reapers from the anime so it was kind of like a theme, but this year, each kid is doing something different. One is going to be Link from Legend of Zelda and the other is going to be Jeff the Killer from Creepy Pasta. So unless I carve two pumpkins, one for each kid, there won't be a theme this year.

Any suggestions on what to do with my pumpkin?

    I just don't know... I'm thinking I might let them carve their own pumpkins... but the last time they played with knives, someone wound up with stitches! :grumble:

    I let my 4 year old draw on the pumpkins and then I cut out her designs. It's a lot of fun.

    I do this as well, but the one last year turned out a bit tragic looking hahaha. It's still fune to see what the kids come up with though.

    My kids are 14 and 10. If I give them that much power, they will want to wield the knives.

    metal cookie cutters and a lobster hammer or meat tenderizer hammer. Let the kids pick random cookie cutters and whack them into the pumpkin at various locations!
