Pumpkin Time! {and After School Link-Up}

By thisreadingmama 3 Comments

October has got to be one of my favorite months of the year. I love the beauty of creation as well as the excitement of all the holidays that are approaching. It just puts me in a good mood. 🙂 I also enjoy seeing all the pumpkins everywhere! If you have a young child and need some pumpkin ideas, feel free to check these out from last week’s After School Link-Up!

Montessori-Inspired Pumpkin Unit

Deb always shares some unique and hands-on activities for learning. This pumpkin unit is no exception. {from Living Montessori Now}

Something about fall just screams, “Craft Time!” And these yarn pumpkins at Enchanted Homeschooling Mom are absolutely adorable!

Do you have some old crayons, maybe broken-off pieces that you’ve been meaning to toss? Well, don’t. This melted crayon pumpkin looks super fun. {from School Time Snippets}

 

Pumpkin Learning Activities for Every Subject- Kid World Citizen

Becky simply rocked this post on how to integrate pumpkins into the content areas! You just have to check out her amazing round up of ideas. {Kid World Citizen}
