Pumpkins

Our pumpkin theme was spread out over a two-day period.  This was another theme that you could spend a lot of time on and we squished all we could into two days.  We had a lot of fun though.

Gathering Time:

Five Little Pumpkins Felt Board Rhyme

Sing “Pumpkin, Pumpkin” and do the actions

Ever-Changing Pumpkin Faces

 Pumpkin Sequencing (this isn't what I used, but unfortunately I wasn't able find my source for them)

Pumpkin Faces Poem (This is a poem and visuals I had in my filing cabinet)

Focus Activities:

Large, Medium, Small pumpkin sorting

Torn Paper Pumpkin

Pumpkin Seed Count (I loved Confessions of a Homeschoolers lacing card pumpkin so much I used it for this too.)

 Cut open a pumpkin and take the seeds out

Paint Pumpkins

Other Possibilities:

Pumpkin Puzzles

Lacing Pumpkin

Felt Jack-O-Lanterns

Make a Jack-o-Lantern online

Did you make it to the end of this post?  As I mentioned, we did a lot of pumpkin stuff and we only skimmed the surface of what's out there.
