Pumpkin Activities For Kids
Autumn is the season when we love doing lots of pumpkin theme activities while I drink my pumpkin spice latte and serve warm pumpkin treats to my kids.
My kids are obsessed with large pumpkins and the different varieties. I decided to quickly design lots of activities for various age groups from, toddlers to preschool to kindergarten, and compile them into a pumpkin busy book.
I promise these activities will keep little ones occupied for a long time.
Also, check out our fall busy book for lots of fun and educational autumn theme activities for kids.
