Materials for Pumpkin Activities

To keep the pumpkin fun going all fall, you’ll need to stock up on some quality materials. Check out this list below for some great products to keep on hand for all of your fall needs (I may get commissions for purchases made through links in this post):

  • Mini pumpkins
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • Food coloring
  • Glitter
  • Apple seeds
  • Leaves
  • Paint
  • Sticks
  • Acrylic pumpkins
  • Pumpkin confetti

Some of these materials can be found at your local store or purchased online. But for others, all you’ll need to do is step right outside and gather them. Regardless of what materials are used or how you use them, your students are going to have a blast learning about pumpkins!
