Now is a great time to grab a pumpkin for this super fun and super easy Pumpkin Train Tunnel--our preschoolers thought it was the coolest train track ever!
We actually did it on the grass first:
While that worked, we decided the flat sidewalk would work even better. And it did!
You can make a Pumpkin Train Tunnel too!
Just cut open a pumpkin and remove the seeds and "guts." Cut two "doors" on each side of the tunnel and scrape the middle down so it is as flat as possible.
We added a cloth to protect the tracks from the pumpkin, and then the kids started building!
When they finished, I wiped the pumpkin down with bleach water to discourage insects and fungus growth. We live in Houston and the humidity can rot a pumpkin in amazing time! So far, it's lasted a couple days and is still looking good!
