Mumbler Top tip for the traditional pumpkin carving is to wash the inside out with bleach before carving to prevent it going mouldy as quickly!
1. Pumpkin Slime
Ingredients
When you’re finished you’ll want to store your slime in an air tight container. Or have the kids create their own jack-o-lantern jars by cutting out the faces from black paper and using some PVA glue to glue their faces to the mason jars. This can be a super fun family activity, and perfect for a Halloween Party! (Photo from Pinterest)
