This week the Fabulous 5s decided to make a pumpkin of their own! We created our pumpkin similarly to an old fashioned "Mr. Potato Head." The kids picked the different parts they wanted to use and then put them on the pumpkin. He turned out quite cute if I do say so myself :) We certainly didn't want to miss the sensory experience of actually cutting up a pumpkin so we took the top off at the end and had the kids guess what was inside. We got all kinds of guesses from candy to what was actually in there...seeds. Some of the kids liked the slimy feeling more than others but overall this group prefers to be "clean!" A couple of "no thank you" touches into the slimy goo accompanied by scrunched up faces showed that "pumpkin guts" definitely was not preferred :) However, decorating the face definitely was :) The only sad part about that was that we were missing two of our loves...Poppy and Jose. No worries friends...we will save some "pumpkins" for you to decorate :)
