More Than Just Smashing It!
Halloween’s over, and that jack-o’-lantern on your porch? It’s looking more like a squash than a smash hit. But don’t be too quick to toss it. Here are some ideas to give it a proper farewell — with a few pumpkin “smashing” suggestions, of course.
- The Launch It! Method: Ever tried pumpkin chuckin’? Find a slingshot or catapult and send that pumpkin to the afterlife with style. Just don’t hit the neighbor’s house unless you’re willing to share the cleanup effort.
- Compost Heaven: Pumpkins make great compost! Your garden will thank you, and you’ll feel like a true Earth-saving superhero. After all, every piece of decomposed pumpkin brings us one step closer to a greener planet.
- Feed the Critters: Slice it up and put it outside for wildlife to nibble on. Raccoons, squirrels, and birds will feast like it’s Thanksgiving!
- Bake and Snack: If your pumpkin’s still fresh, make some seeds or puree! Your stomach will enjoy a post-Halloween treat that doesn’t include any leftover candy.
In the end, be a smashing pumpkin custodian—no band required!
