As you take knife to pumpkin this week, carve it with national parks in mind.

Sure, duplicating Old Faithful's frothy eruption might be a challenge for most of us, but there are other, easier images you can sculpt into your big orange squash. And the National Park Service is here to help, offering tips and even templates for creating your masterpiece.

Step 1: Pick your favorite template below and print it to match the size of your pumpkin’s surface area. Or create your own pumpkin park artwork!

Step 2: Cut out the dark area of the template.

Step 3: Use the template to trace the image on your pumpkin.

Step 4: Carefully carve out the design (or close enough) with a knife. Kids—Grab an adult to help with this step.

Share your pumpkin park art on social media using #FindYourPark or #EncuentraTuParque to add it to the growing parks pumpkin patch.
