Pumpkin carving of skull

This is the pumpkin that I carved to get the students excited to take part in the school pumpkin carving contest. By carving it well in advance, I was able to better prepare for the lesson as I had an idea how long it would take the students to carve their pumpkins and what materials would be necessary. I would also like to add that this was extremely fun. It was the first pumpkin I carved. Putting a flashing light inside and turning off the lights made it look pretty cool, but this is the best picture I was able to take...
