What can we do with Pumpkins other than carving them into Jack-o-lanterns?
Pumpkins come in so many different shapes, sizes and colours. Some are meant only for decoration like “gourds”, some are great for baking and of course, ones for carving.
If you have a pumpkin/pumpkins, consider these activities before carving them:
Painting and drawing on the pumpkins
Drawing/sketching pumpkins using them as inspiration
Use stickers to decorate the pumpkins
Hammering golf pegs into pumpkins, great for eye-hand coordination
Guessing game of the weight of the pumpkin. Measuring the diameter, height and width
Will it sink or will it float?
Once it’s carved:
Counting and sorting all the seeds
Roasting the seeds
Using the seeds for art collage
Planting the seeds
