Day #6. Pumpkin Day!
This is what we plan to do today! 🙂 Did you want to download and print out everything for this month? You now can! Grab the Fall School Activity Bundle here!
This 120-page PDF bundle comes with every printable you’ll need for this month PLUS extra printables like a master supply list, suggested reading list, themed snack photos, grocery list, and a teacher guide for each day! It is great for saving time by downloading and printing everything all at once! You’ll also receive a Fall School bookmark and punch card for your kids to use as they move through each themed day. 🥰
Activities
IMPORTANT NOTE: In the past, I’ve offered most items for free for 24 hours, on each themed day. I will still be giving away some freebies here and there, but most printables will stay exclusive for those who purchase the monthly bundle. There have been some concerns with a few individuals taking advantage of everything in my store being free at one point and downloading printables while they are free only to turn around and sell for their own profit.
For that reason, I need to make a change and protect my shop and whichever activities I did spend a lot of my time on creating. Thank you for understanding and for helping support me as I put time into making these themes! If you are unable to purchase the monthly bundle, I would definitely still love to have you tag along and use the snack ideas, YouTube educational video links, and read aloud book links! And as I mentioned above, there will still be occasional freebies too! ❤️
#1. Pumpkin Volcano Science Experiment
Choose a worksheet and follow the instructions on the teacher guide for this fun experiment!
#2. Pumpkin Life Cycle Worksheet
Choose and print out your worksheet. Have your student either write or cut out and glue a word from the word box underneath each photo!
#3. Tape Resist Pumpkin Art Project FREEBIE
Print out this pumpkin on cardstock. Have your student use washi tape to create designs on the pumpkin. They can then paint the pumpkin. After it dries, peel off the tape to reveal the final design!
Snack
Peel an orange and stick a green M&M on top (or a piece of celery as a healthier option) for the stem!
Books
(Note: Some of the books this month are new to me, so be sure to skim it beforehand if you want to make sure it’s something your family values align with).
Today we’ll be reading: Too Many Pumpkins and From Seed to Pumpkin.
If you couldn’t grab these books from the library or store, here are some read-aloud options on YouTube!
