Fruit-Filled Jack-O-Lanterns 

Here are some super cute little jack-o-lanterns that I love for a few reasons. First they are adorable, next, your kids can help you make them, and finally, they’re a healthy Halloween treat!

Wouldn’t a bunch of these little jack-o-lanterns be perfect for a Halloween or class party? [Also check out these cute Halloween party decorations, a pumpkin pinata, and party games.]

Here’s your step-by-step guide to making your own little jack-o-lanterns!

  • Once the orange is empty, use a small knife to cut out your jack-o-lantern face! Be creative. You can carve square eyes, triangle eyes, a smile, or big teeth! Have fun!
  • Slice the very top of three strawberries โ€“the green โ€œleaves.โ€ Use this as a garnish on top of your orange jack-o-lantern. You can secure it with a toothpick, or a dab of honey.
  • Slice the strawberries into quarters and then in half again.
  • Evenly distribute the blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries into each jack-o-lantern. Use a toothpick or tiny spoon to serve. Your family, friends, and especially children will love these friendly Halloween jack-o-lantern treats!
