DON’T squash your creativity this Halloween.
You can work some scary magic by grabbing a medium-sized pumpkin for 95p at Aldi.

Then get carving!
KITTED OUT: Want to be a cut above the rest? The Asda pumpkin-carving kit comes at a wickedly cheap £3.
However, adults can also use a serrated kitchen knife, plus hammer and nail.
When you’ve scooped out the pulp, save the seeds. They make a tasty snack if roasted.

MAKE THE CUT: You can Make your pumpkin a shape-shifter by scooping out the flesh before raiding your kitchen drawers for metal cookie cutters.
Press them into the outside of your pumpkin and tap lightly with a hammer to create great shapes and patterns.
SUPER STENCILS: Print off up to 30 stencils free at familybreakfinder.co.uk/activities for free.
Choose from witches, cats, howling wolves, and bats flying in moonlight.

Cut out the grey sections, and then use a marker pen to trace onto your pumpkin. Armed with your carving kit, you create a boo-tiful masterpiece.
NAIL IT: Skip carving and use a hammer and nail to tap tiny holes into your pumpkin in different shapes to create a bewitching dotted design.
This gives an amazing lantern effect when you add a light inside.
FAMILY FUN: If you want to get your little monsters involved without the carving, head to Poundland for a selection of Halloween-themed stickers and paints to decorate your pumpkin.
Another idea is to “mummify” your pumpkin by wrapping it in bandages from your first aid kit then draw on eyes, nose and mouth with a marker.
