Pumpkin Kids Activities
The first idea that caught my attention was this inviting fall sensory bin, lovingly prepared by Amy at Wildflower Ramblings. It caught my eyes immediately, so inviting with its warm and the plentiful fall colors…

And what about simply throwing a few pumpkins into the sandbox in a back yard for a lively hide-and-seek play, just like these kids did at Two-daloo ?

And when you decide to use the pumpkins, there will certainly be some seeds left. Don’t throw them away, use them to make colored pumpkin seeds for play, just as Tricia from 2big2little (edited: sorry, link not live any longer) did:

How about a classic pumpkin pie playdough by Kristin at Homespun-with-love? She even added a playdough recipe and a detailed how-to so you might want to check it out:

And let’s not forget, kids get hungry while playing and you might just want to check this delicious autumn pumpkin treat that Cathy has made at Three kids and a fish. And she’s good at it!

And what would YOU choose to do with a bunch of fall pumpkins? Let me know, I’m eager to test more ideas!!!

Great idea – I have never thought to colour pumpkin seeds before it's a fantastic idea.

Hi, I'm a first time visitor popping over via Country Kids. I love your blog 🙂
I plan on making pumpkin soup for the children's lunches. I will colour the seeds rather than throwing them away after seeing this post.
