Fun Ways for Exploring Pumpkins in Autumn

The days of fall are upon us. I can’t say that fall is my favorite season because summer truly has my heart, however, autumn is a close second. When the leaves are changing, the world looks a little more beautiful. In the fall you have pumpkins, mums, and the smell of apple cider filling the air.

I couldn’t resist another nature table change. It is probably our 4th one this month, but there is just so much to see and so many changes taking place outside.

Fun Ways for Exploring Pumpkins in Autumn

I couldn’t resist another nature table change. It is probably our 4th one this month, but there is just so much to see and so many changes taking place outside.

Even though I like to make things fun, I always get our learning in. All I know is we are enjoying these snuggle up days of fun and exploring.

As usual Miss Bell joined us for our Life cycle of a Pumpkin activities.

No need for a Sensory play container today when we have the real thing. Dig in and squish away.

If you are interested in some wonderful fall books you should definitely check out The Scarecrow’s Dance, Nuts to You, The Pumpkin Runner, and Awesome Autumn. These are just a few of our all time favorites.

In this house we are getting living math in by talking about guesses, educated guessing, estimating, and then counting the seeds to see actually how many we have. It was 290 seeds in this small pumpkin. After all of the counting was done, we washed the seeds, roasted them, and then all of the children.

Little B did a few fun activities, like button sorting- small, medium, and large with autumn buttons. As well as color sorting the Jack-o-lanterns.

Other activities that we have enjoyed in fall can be found here. All of the free printables seen in my fall posts can be located easily right here.
