Pumpkin patch role play. Choose a pumpkin, discuss their colour and texture, weigh the pumpkins, pay for the pumpkins and transport them. So much learning can happen from a few pumpkins in the outdoors! 

Comment ‘pumpkin patch’ for the downloadable resource to create one of your own (free for my members or available as an individual purchase). 

Our gorgeous outdoor role play is from @hope_earlyyears - there’s a link in my bio.

Nature pumpkins - use leaves, conkers or any nature finds to make natural faces on the pumpkins. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has ordered and downloaded the pumpkin resource over the last few days! The website has been so busy ❤️❤️

Pumpkin potions in the outdoor area is the best! 

The instruction sheet for the activity is in the Halloween activity set. There’s also a pumpkin activity set and so much more on the website for this time of year. Comment ‘pumpkins’ if you want the link to this section on my website. 

For this, you will need: pumpkins, bicarbonate of soda, washing up liquid, bio glitter and white vinegar. The smell is quite strong, so if you have little ones with sensory issues - just be aware!
