Check out this awesome resource for free pumpkin carving stencils!
Pumpkin carving has to be my very favorite part of Halloween. But I have to admit some years I get stuck on what to actually carve on the pumpkin. Not so this year. We’ve compiled the biggest and best list of free pumpkin carving stencils that you will find anywhere!
(Keep hands and imaginations busy with these free Disney printable coloring pages, too!)
There are classic trick or treat pumpkin stencil ideas: cat, bat, witch, owl, skull.
You’ll also find a cast of Nick Jr. and Disney characters such as Dora, Yo Gabba Gabba, Mickey Mouse, Mike Wazowski and Sulley (Monsters Inc.) and Tow Mater (Cars). Would you prefer Batman, Minecraft, Despicable Me or Frozen? They’re here. For super geeks like my husband, there are even Star Wars stencils.
You’ll discover pumpkin stencils for everyone, from contemporary artists like Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga to pop culture icons like Bette Davis and The Beatles.
While there are some intricate ideas, many of the pumpkin stencils are super easy and quick—the kids can do them. Fun stuff!
