Pumpkins

Autumn always makes me think of cooler weather, changing leaves, and of course pumpkins! Join us in learning a little more about this fall fruit with the book From Seed to Pumpkin by Wendy Pfeffer. After listening to the book you can complete our pumpkin life cycle worksheet (page 1 and page 2).

For a little more pumpkin fun, click on the link for a pumpkin stamping craft.

Finally, snuggle up and listen to the book Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper, and maybe even try making your own pumpkin soup with this recipe.
