Gran Gran Plan
Gather vegetables you want to use as spooky lanterns. Peppers and Butternut squash work great.
Use pens to draw funny or spooky faces onto the vegetables.
Ask your grown-up to cut off the top of the vegetables and keep the top to one side for later. Then scoop out all the insides!
Ask your grown-up to cut along the pen lines, then remove the excess to leave holes in the vegetable.听
Get a battery powered tea-light and put it inside the vegetable.听
Put the vegetable top back on and enjoy your spooky vegetable lanterns!
