Fun Pumpkin Activities for Kids

pumpkin activities for kids from share-it saturday

We had almost 150 awesome ideas shared at last week’s Share It Saturday!  Do you think we can get to 200 this weekend?  I had a great time reading the posts from last Saturday and found way too many ideas.  Let’s just say my “I want to do!” list is pretty long.  Today, I’d like to focus on all of the fun pumpkin activities for kids that were shared.

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!
