Pumpkin Fun

Today we read a few books about pumpkins and learned about the life cycle of pumpkins.

Sensory activity: playing with pumpkin gooblek, complete with seeds and strings.

 We washed off the seeds and used them as part of our life cycle pictures (seeds, sprouts, flowers, green pumpkins, orange pumpkins).  We sang a song and acted out the pumpkin life cycle.

 We found shapes and matched them to the pumpkins on the wall.

 We weighed and measured our pumpkins.

 Made cereal pumpkins.

 And saw who could roll their pumpkins the farthest.

 We ate a pumpkin lunch and made a simple pumpkin bread.

 And played outside and in the basement.
