Pumpkin Activities for Preschoolers

Looking for some fun pumpkin activities for your preschoolers? Here are a few ideas to get you started!

One great way to start exploring pumpkins is to cut one open and take a look at the insides. Let your little ones touch and feel the seeds, pulp, and stem. You can also have them help you scoop out the insides of the pumpkin.

Another fun activity is to use markers or paint to decorate pumpkins. You can also turn this into a sensory activity by adding texture with things like glitter or puffy paint.

If you want to further explore the science of pumpkins, try conducting some simple experiments. For example, you can see what happens when you add baking soda and vinegar to a pumpkin. Or, you can test how much weight a pumpkin can hold before it collapses.
