The field trip to Plumper Pumpkin Patch was such a success! The search for the "perfect pumpkin" begins now! As the search continues for a perfect pumpkin all the preschoolers had some fun viewing all the awesome attractions at the pumpkin patch! One of the reasons that we love Plumper Pumpkins so much, is it's amazing and thoughtfully designed farm playground! At last, the pumpkin picking has begun! Everyone was on the lookout for the right pumpkin and as you can tell the there were so many to choose from! Plumper Pumpkin Patch was loads of fun and everyone was able to take home their very own pumpkin! After returning from our amazing trip, we were able to expand on what we discovered about pumpkins in MANY different ways. Mrs. Anne brought back two large sunflowers from the farm, an ear of corn, some pumpkin vine found on the ground, and a couple of our pumpkins to show to the preschoolers and let them touch, feel and smell the items. When the sunflowers dry, the kids will be able to pick out the seeds! We had a "What's inside a pumpkin" group art, where the children chose pumpkin items to place in their pumpkin and describe something about their pumpkin. During free play, we made "smoosh" pumpkins, hammering pumpkins, sorting pumpkins, creation pumpkins, and lots of other great activities that kids created for themselves! Rainy Day Activity: With the pumpkins everyone took home here is an awesome at home activity the whole family can participate in! 1) With your preschooler you can paint or color some small pumpkins on a piece of paper. 2) After that label every pumpkin with a number on top like shown in the picture to the left. 3) Once that is complete you can carve the pumpkin seeds out of the pumpkin your preschooler brought home from the field trip. 4) Have your preschooler place the number of seeds onto the corresponding number pumpkins. 5) If you're feeling hungry those seeds you pulled out can be roasted and can become a tasty snack!
