Pumpkin carving doesn’t have to be reserved just for Halloween. You can create a new kind of lunar lantern with different kinds of fruits for that extra sparkle and twinkle.
YOU WILL NEED:
Large pumpkin/ watermelon/ butternut squash/ pomelo
Sharp knife or keyhole saw
Spoon
Tea light candle or battery-operated candle
Permanent marker
WHAT TO DO:
Cut off the top of your fruit or vegetable of choice and using a spoon, scoop out the flesh, pulp, and seeds, leaving a hollow shell.
With the permanent marker, your children can draw and outline of the designs they would like for their twinkling display, then carefully help them to cut it out. Place your candle inside the pumpkin and admire the beautiful glow in the evening with your family and friends.
