The season of spooky ghosts and goblins is upon us — and with it comes the season of getting pumpkin guts everywhere while trying to carve a jack-o’-lantern.

While the ooey-gooey mess can be part of the fun with carving jack-o’-lanterns, if you’d rather your kids stay clean when decorating pumpkins this year, you may want to look into picking up some pumpkin-decorating kits that require no slicing or scooping.

Target has some pumpkin-decorating kits that will turn your pumpkins into works of art — without all the cutting and sloppiness that come along with pumpkin carving.

The kits are available for only $10 and they feature ghoulish faces, silly expressions and cute characters, like superheroes and Paw Patrol. You’ll definitely be able to find a kit your child will love.

Take a look at just some of the kits available at Target.

The Nightmare Before Christmas Jack Skellington Pumpkin Decorating Kit

While this will work on any orange pumpkin, you might first want to paint it white with the included small tub of paint, and then insert the push-ins and you have a Jack Skellington jack-o’-lantern for Halloween!
