Tips & Warnings
Because this isn't a carved pumpkin, it will stay fresh all month long. Check out the many types of pumpkins available. Some are short and squat, others are tall and thin, and they also come in a variety of colors from green to dark orange.
Adult supervision is critical. Children should not handle the glue gun because it can cause severe burns.
