5 Best Pumpkin Carving Kits to Create an Epic Jack-O'-Lantern

You'll receive a whopping 17 pieces in this kit including two saws, a cambered etching tool, a poker drill, scoops, six double-sided detail sculpting tools, and a sleek storage bag. Whether you're going for a simple drawing or a realistic pumpkin face, you'll have the tools to make it happen. Plus, thickened stainless steel, sturdy-silly-anti-slip handles, and LED candles make it well worth the $20-ish investment. It also comes with five temporary tattoos and an 1,000 stencil e-book! Just be sure to supervise the kiddos with this one.

At under $5, this 12-piece set is a true bargain. It comes with one scoop, two saws, a jumbo drills, and eight different patterns. The scoop top screws off if you're working with smaller pumpkins and the saw has an easy-grip handle to make it more comfortable to work with. It's got a few glowing reviews and it's already a bestseller. At this price, it's worth getting no matter your carving expertise!

Let your kids in on the fun with these cookie cutter-like "punchers." No need to worry about the dangers of sharp knives: They'll be able to carve the pumpkins using nothing more than the (food-grade stainless steel) cutters and the included wooden mallet. This kit comes with sixteen pre-designed pumpkin molds fit for a pump-king! Seriously, you could create a pumpkin king (like Jack Skellington) with these eye, nose, and mouth shapes. When you're done, they can go right in the dishwasher for easy cleanup!

There are 15 different tools included in this kit alongside a nifty user manual that has step-by-step tutorials. Get your carving on using a curved knife, pumpkin scooper, double-sided tooth saw, triangle carving spoon, hole cutting tool, cambered etching tools, and six double-sided precise sculpting tools as well as intricate detail sculpting tools. They're all made of solid stainless steel with soft rubber handles so you can work comfortably. You'll also get ten different stencils! And get this: The manufacturer suggests using it to carve other vegetables and fruits, too, like potatoes and tomatoes.

It doesn't get much better than a kit with 42 (yes 42!) pieces for you and the kiddos to carve the pumpkins of your dreams... or nightmares! There's just something irresistibly adorable about the jack-o'-lantern-inspired design on that pumpkin "scooper." With this package, you'll also receive a large saw, a small saw, a drill, a "poker wheel," six LED candles, ten carving stencils, and 20 unique cellophane candy bags. There are no real blades here, so your kids can actually use the tools.
