I’m a cat lover. And a dog lover ... Let’s start the list with simple pumpkin stencils for your jack o lantern. You’ll find easy outlines and basic shapes here. They’re all perfect ...

This adorably spooked cat from The Pumpkin Lady (who, by the way, has over 900 free pumpkin carving templates on her website) looks intricate but is easy enough for young kids to master.

You can colour in a pumpkin, mummy, bat and cat with these activity sheets. Place them around your home to show off your kids artwork and it makes for easy indoor Halloween decorations too!
