What did we do to explore Its Pumpkin Time?
JDaniel and I created an emotion box and facial features that expressed different emotions. We talked about emotions and how to express them.
Pumpkin Dice Game
I created a game sheet with ten pumpkins and wrote the numbers 1-10 on one of each of them. JDaniel rolled the dice and then put an acorn on the numbers as he rolled them.
Tots and Me has a wonderful moon unit. I really like the activities she selected to learn about the moon. Her moon craters activity really looks like fun.

I really like the pumpkin emotion box. When I used teach anger mgmt to teenagers, many of them had no idea how to express their emotions appropriately. It’s something that should be taught at a young age!
What another creative idea. How do you think of all of this?? I would want a emotion box for myself:)
Great pumpkin post! Great ideas! (as always :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
Thank you for stopping and commenting! I will add your comment to those entering for a chance at the Viper Pilot book for your hubby :o)
That’s a gorgeous box, and such fun activity to do with your child!
Funny! We just got this book from the library and right now it’s my son’s favorite. He keeps bringing it to me to read!! We did a pumpkin theme preschool about two weeks ago (I added my submission) but we keep stretching out the pumpkin activities! lol
That pumpkin emotion activity is awesome! I hope you linked it up to the Perfectly Pumpkin Contest at B-Inspired Mama.
