Pumpkins Story Time: October 19-20, 2015

Books:
Five Little Pumpkins by Iris Van Rynbach
I Like Pumpkins by Jerry Smath
Plumply, Dumply Pumpkin by Mary Serfozo *
The Pumpkin Fair by Eve Bunting *
Pumpkin Trouble by Jan Thomas *

Craft: Jack-O-Lantern Picture
The kids were given a picture of a pumpkin to color.  They then made the jack-o-lantern's mouth and eyes by gluing on three pieces of black yarn (each about 9" long).

Literacy Extensions:
- Carve or paint a jack-o-lantern with your child.  As you are deciding on its features' discuss how different styles of features express different emotions.
- See how many different types of food your child thinks can be made with pumpkins.  If you have carved a pumpkin, save the pumpkin seeds to roast.
