Disney's Mickey Mouse is popular with children of all ages and makes a great theme for pumpkin carving on Halloween. Many companies have licensed Mickey Mouse and related characters specifically for creating pumpkin carving kits to use to carve Mickey Mouse pumpkins. Use the patterns directly or use them as the basis for coming up with your own Mickey Mouse-themed pumpkin carvings. Does this Spark an idea?
Mickey Face
Carve Mickey Mouse's face into the pumpkin, leaving the skin of the pumpkin as filler and only cutting the outlines out of the pumpkin. Mickey's large ears should be open as well. When a candle is placed into the pumpkin, the outline of Mickey's face and his large ears will be well lit. Download a free pattern for this carving from Disney. Simply tape it to a pumpkin and cut away the sections colored in black to achieve this effect.
Monster Mickey
Carve Mickey onto a pumpkin and either use a pattern or your own artistic abilities to modify him into a famous movie monster. A mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein or even a werewolf Mickey are all ways to customize Mickey to look like one of your favorite classic creatures.
Mickey and Friends
Carve an intricate scene on your pumpkin with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy and Pluto on a trick-or-treat adventure. Create the characters carrying trick-or-treat bags and knocking on a someone's door for treats.
Sorcerer Mickey
Recreate Mickey as he appeared in the movie "Fantasia." The sorcerer Mickey has enough detail for you to cut away to make a great pumpkin design, and the character is perfect for Halloween celebrations. While carving patterns available with this theme are available, any picture of sorcerer Mickey can be used to carve the design.
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Carve a replica of Mickey's clubhouse onto your pumpkin, then populate it with carvings of all of Mickey's friends. Have Mickey and friends passing out candy to children visiting the clubhouse.
