Mini Plastic Pumpkin Activities


Yesterday we counted straws into these plastic pumpkins. 
During this activity I couldn't help but wonder what else you could do with these little plastic pumpkins. 

Use the same format as pictured above but with rhyming words, word families, syllables, beginning/middle/end sounds, or money. The possibilities are endless!

Try this Jack O Lantern Addition from The First Grade Parade.

Develop motor skills with Spooning Corn from Olives and Pickles 


Use them in a Sensory Tub like they did at Motherhood Moments.

  2. I put one in Little man's Halloween Sensory Bin. He loved filling it up with beans and dumping it back in his bin. :) Great ideas!

    You could use them to act out the "Five Little Pumpkins sitting on the Gate" rhyme.

    another idea-Little Pumpkin Scavenger Hune

  3. I love these little pumpkins. I think we should try the spooning activity at our house. Thanks for the ideas.

    I have a past post with lots of pumpkin ideas. In the middle of the post is a little game we played using the mini plastic pumpkins
