About these dinosaur stencils
Dinosaur side profiles are perfect for wide pumpkins: carve the body as one big glowing shape and let the spikes, plates and horns do the talking.
The skeleton design is the showpiece: lots of small openings that look stunning lit, best for a confident carver with a fine saw.

How to carve a dinosaur pumpkin
- Pick a design and download the PDF in the size that matches the flattest face of your pumpkin.
- Cut a lid or a hole in the back, scoop out the pulp and thin the front wall to about 1 inch so the light shines through.
- Tape the stencil flat, poke along every line about 3 mm apart, then peel the paper off.
- Cut out the black shapes with a small saw, smallest pieces first, and keep every white bridge.
- Light it with an LED and clean up any edges that block the glow.
Carving tips
- Footprints are the easiest; good for toddlers to help.
- Use a wide pumpkin for long dinosaurs.
- Carve skeleton ribs from the centre outward.
