Jack-o-lantern Pumpkin Tracing Worksheet
Nothing is filled in ahead of time on this jack-o’-lantern, so the whole face comes from the child’s own pencil. That face is all corners. It has two triangle eyes with three straight sides each and a wide smile with two square teeth. The rest of the pumpkin is curves, from the big round outline and the three ribs down the front to the bent stem, the leaf and the vine. Every stroke has an orange dot at its start.
Easy: one big jack-o’-lantern
With one large pumpkin on the easy page for ages 3 to 5, the long, gentle curves of the outline and ribs make a smooth start. Switching to straight strokes for the eyes and teeth keeps the page interesting. Up top, the vine curls into a full loop, the trickiest curve on the sheet, and it asks for a slow, careful hand.
Medium: three small pumpkins and a blank box
A large pumpkin opens the medium page for ages 6 to 8. Below it, three small pumpkins are all tight curves and tiny triangles, so their vine loops and little teeth get hard to follow on a shrunken page unless the A4 or Letter PDF stays at 100 percent. The fourth space in that row is a dashed Now you box for drawing the pumpkin freehand.
Skills practiced & tips
- Start with the big pumpkin outline, then trace the stem, leaf and vine.
- Trace each eye as three straight sides, stopping at every corner.
- Follow the vine loop slowly; it is the trickiest curve on the page.
- Use a chunky crayon on the easy sheet and a sharp pencil for the small pumpkins.
- After tracing, color the face yellow and the pumpkin orange.
Pumpkin fun facts
- Pumpkin flowers are bright yellow, and each one usually opens in the morning and closes again by afternoon.
- Most pumpkins take about three to four months to grow from seed to harvest.
Classroom ideas
- Preschool (ages 3 to 5): trace the easy pumpkin inside a plastic sleeve with a dry-erase marker, then wipe and try again.
- Kindergarten: name each shape before tracing it: oval, triangle, curve and rectangle.
- Grade 1: after filling the Now you box, children label the stem, leaf, vine and ribs.

Frequently asked questions
How do the easy and medium pumpkin sheets differ?
The easy sheet, for ages 3 to 5, has one large dashed pumpkin. The medium sheet, for ages 6 to 8, has a large pumpkin at the top, three small pumpkins below and an empty box marked Now you.
Why do the strokes start at orange dots?
The dots show where to begin each line, for example the left corner of each eye, the end of the smile and the top of each rib. Children always know where to put the pencil down.
What shapes are on the pumpkin?
Long curves for the outline and ribs, triangles for the eyes, small rectangles for the teeth and a full loop in the vine. Kindergartners can name each shape before tracing it.
