My Book Tie-In of the Week

Five Little Pumpkins

 

We read Five Little Pumpkins illustrated by Ben Mantle. This wonderful version of the book has light hearted pictures that didn’t scare JDaniel. I love the happy pumpkins and fun characters in the book. It is a padded board board which I have found helps books last. That is really important when it comes to this book. We will be reading it for a long time.

Craft

We painted egg carton cups with orange bingo markers and placed them on a fence. It was fun to use the egg pumpkins to retell the story. The green strips were left over from a Sunday school lesson I taught two weeks ago. They are lick and stick.

 

Experiment

Orange food coloring was created using red and yellow neon food coloring. JDaniel and I mixed the colors using cotton balls. This was fun, but very messy.

Disclaimer: I review books for Tiger Tales. Five Little Pumpkins is a book I was sent to review. The thoughts about the book are my own.

  12. Thanks for visiting Welcome To My Kitchen. Always nice to meet new friends online. I am looking for guest bloggers or mom bloggers to submit there favorite recipe with pictures to be featured on my blog. If interested please contact me. Thanks and have a great day!

  17. What a great idea. There is nothing my girls ages 3 and 10 and I love to do more than ART PROJECTS! I have a cabinet stocked with everything.

  18. Your craft idea is so cute! I’ve been looking for pumpkin activities for Georgia – this would tie in perfectly with her “5 Little Pumpkins” poem she’s been obsessed with. Thanks for the ideas!

  22. The pumpkins on the fence are cute. 🙂

    I debated about linking up, but we don’t celebrate Halloween, so it wouldn’t be fair to link up and not comment on other blogs. I may link up after the holidays are over. Hope you understand!

  24. Just wanted to come over and thank you for visiting my blog earlier, and I am so glad that I did! Thanks for the heaps of inspiration – I love how you go about exploring books and would like to link up in future. Have a beauty-FULL week!
