Pumpkin Activities


Choose a pumpkin book that talks about the different stages of a pumpkin.
Pumpkin, Pumpkin by Jeanne Titherington
From Seed to Pumpkin by Wendy Pfeffer
The Pumpkin Book by Gail Gibbons
Choose another book above or another one from Amazon.com
   

Talk about the different stages of a pumpkin.  (The seed comes first.  The sprout comes second.  The plant comes third.  The flower comes fourth.  The green pumpkin comes fifth. And finally, the orange pumpkin comes sixth.)  
Make a pumpkin.

Pumpkin Craft
Place the fronts of two paper plates together.  Hole punch holes around the sides and bottom.  Have the children lace their pumpkins with orange yarn.  Tie off the ends (younger children need help).   (You can staple it but this helps children with hand and eye coordination.)  Paint (or color) both sides of the pumpkin orange (or you can make orange finger prints on the pumpkin).  (You can paint a face if you like.)  Make green leaves and a brown stem out of construction paper (You can do this ahead of time for younger children.)  Glue the leaves onto the sides of the stem and glue the stem under the top front of the pumpkin.

For older children:
Place words of the life cycle of a pumpkin inside the pumpkin (seed, sprout, plant, flower, green pumpkin, orange pumpkin).  Have the child pull it out and say the word and place it in the correct order on a table or the floor.  You can have the child write down the correct order that the pumpkin grows onto a piece of paper.
