Smiling pumpkin carvings: carving Halloween into smiling faces

Smiling Pumpkin Carvings | Why carve a smiling pumpkin (kid-friendly, not scary), a few classic smile designs (wide grin / squinty-eyed smile / crooked smile / gap-toothed smile / mini smile), prep before carving (choosing a pumpkin, tools, safety), carve one in four steps (angled lid cut, scoop the guts, draw the face, cut and add a light), make the smile glow (eyes smaller than the mouth, keep some teeth, light placement), storing and displaying (don't carve too early, spray vinegar, set it on the porch)
