Potat-o-Lantern

Do you have a curious little guy or gal? Do you want to participate in a Halloween activity but don’t want to risk sawing off a finger while pumpkin carving?

Are you completely and utterly lazy?

Do you have a drill with a drill bit?

Yes?

Then this post is for you! Read ahead!

J saw this Mr. Potato Head pumpkin decorating kit at Target a few weeks back, and decided this was the easiest way ever to “carve” a jack-o-lantern with a three year old.

He picked a nice warty pumpkin so our cowboy looked authentic. After that the most strenuous part was drilling holes for the potato head pieces.

First J tried to punch a hole with a regular screwdriver. Yeah, not happening.

So he broke out the drill bit. Sorry Mr. Potato Head.

That worked great. Then it was just as simple as popping the parts and pieces into the holes.

He was all boutit boutit.

The final touch was the tater lasso and our Potat-o-Lantern Cowboy was all ready to go. .
