Pumpkins are everywhere! I love Fall and all the fun things you can do with pumpkins!
Pumpkin Print Painting is a fun way to smell pumpkins, talk about seeds and vines, predict what is inside a pumpkin, and create a personal, free-style painting project!
Simple Supplies:
- little pumpkins
- sharp knife
- spoons
- paint
- paper plates or tins for the paint
- paper to paint on
Easy How-to:
1- Ask your kids what is inside the pumpkin. How many seeds do they expect? What will it look like if we cut it in half? Click here for great pumpkin science activities for preschoolers!
2- Cut the pumpkin in half and let your kids clean out the insides.
3- Squirt paint onto the plates, and show your kids how to make a print. It works best if you wiggle the pumpkin around in the paint and again on the paper. Let them loose to explore and create! Don't worry if they decide to paint with their hands too--pumpkin print painting is an experience!
