🎃 SAFETY TIPS | Pumpkin carving season is here! Before you dive into creating your spooky masterpiece, keep these safety tips in mind:

🔪 Use the right tools – Pumpkin carving kits are safer than kitchen knives.
✋ Carve away from yourself – Always cut with controlled, downward motions.
🕯️ Light it safely – Swap candles for LED lights to avoid burns or fire hazards.
👀 Supervise kids – Let them draw the design and scoop out the seeds, while adults handle the carving.

Stay safe, keep your fingers injury-free, and have a gourd-geous Halloween! 🎃
