Jack-o-Lantern I Spy {free printables}

What’s the best part about Halloween? For some, it’s dressing up in costume. For others, it’s going trick-or-treating. And for others still, it is carving pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns!

Jack-o-lanterns were first brought to the United States by Irish immigrants in the 1800s. And here’s a fun fact: Did you know that the original Jack-o-Lanterns were not made from pumpkins, but from hollowed out turnips, rutabagas, gourds, and potatoes?

Today, as you likely know, jack-o-lanterns are carved almost exclusively from pumpkins. They can be happy, sad, silly, or scary.

Can your children find all the different jack-o-lanterns in this new Jack-o-Lantern I Spy printable?
