Carve a Pumpkin Day is October 31. Have you ever carved a pumpkin into a Jack-o-Lantern or made a pumpkin pie from scratch? The best way to celebrate this holiday is by doing exactly what it says and carve a pumpkin. Will you make something spooky, silly, or sweet? Check out the video below to go on a field trip to the pumpkin patch with Caitie’s Classroom.
