Pumpkin Patch 2015

Well, the annual pumpkin patch brought games to play, picture opportunities, and, of course, plenty of pumpkins to our area. This event is becoming a favorite for our family. Here are some moments from this year.

As you can see, they are having a blast. Pumpkins make everything more fun and adorable. Did you know that a pumpkin is not a vegetable; it's a fruit! In fact, it's a berry. Pumpkins belong to the family Cucurbitaceae, which includes cucumbers, melons, squash, and gourds.

Caleb was determined to pick up as many pumpkins as possible. He, of course, would look for big pumpkins to lift. The bigger, the better.

Homeschool Letter W

We are finishing up printables are from 1plus1plus1equals1.com’s Animal ABCs.

This was totally spur of the moment.

Seasonal Activity….We LOVE FALL…

Here is our Sensory Bin.

 

It contains items we already had along with some rice that I died to make red, organge, and yellow with food coloring. I use the simplest method to die my rice. Why spend more money or time with something that may be scattered all over the yard pretty soon. HaHa.

My method:Fill ziploc bag with some rice (however much you want for each color). Drop food coloring in, zip the bag up, shake it up, add more accordingly. I do NOT use alcohol, coolaid, or anything else. Just rice and food coloring. Let this dry for at least 6 hours or more and enjoy.
 

 

Our set up was outside on a beautiful fall day. We were very spread out too. She had a blast, and was occupied for at least 45 minutes. The funniest part was she didn’t want me to play with her AT ALL.



I love these scoops.



Pouring...



We made a smiley face together.



She had to have swept the rice for at least 15 minutes. If only we can transfer this learning to the house.



Transferring with a large spoon.

SEASONAL ACTIVITY…WE LOVE FALL

Printables from 1plus1plus1equals1.com’s Pumpkin Preschool Pack

 

Our Pumpkin Set-up! She was so excited to sing these songs. They are new. Check them out on 1plus1plus1equals1.

These have really held up over the past few years. WE LAMINATE EVERYTHING!

We made round ‘pumpkins’ then smashed them!

How many pumpkins? I love to watch her count.

TRACING TRACING, this girl loves to trace.

Cutting Practice is her favorite. She cannot wait to get her hands on the scissors. This was her first time not using her toddler friendly scissors.

1-10 puzzle

The Little Scarecrow boy is her absolute favorite. Last year it scared her a little bit. But this year it’s so funny to see her make the faces.
