Finger painting their own small pumpkins. As you can see, they still require close supervision, but not nearly as much as last year. This year they can both paint at the same time without too much mess.
Here they are helping us clean out a big pumpkin. They are much more into the slime than the year before. They even helped us separate the seeds from the slime. They watched as my husband carved the pumpkin since they aren't quiet ready for using a knife yet.
They helped us wash the seeds and here we are setting them on a towel to dry so we could cook them. Neither kid really liked eating the pumpkin seeds, but at least they tried.
This is one of my favorite pumpkin activities. Hammering golf tees into a big pumpkin was a hit with both kids as well. It's great for developing hand/eye coordination and who doesn't like to hammer?
After hammering into the pumpkin, we let the kids color it. This is a fun new texture to color on and uses both large and fine motor skills.
