Pumpkin Picture Painting

We painted pumpkins today. I printed off some pumpkin pictures and we sponge painted them. The kiddos had a blast.

We also read a poem called Pumpkins, Pumpkins On The Vine, it is a poem about the cycle of pumpkins. I made cards with pictures that went along with the poem.
I cant find the poem to post the link so here it is:

Pumpkins, pumpkins on the vine

Pumpkins, pumpkins on the vine
Growing big - taking their time.

First a seed, then a sprout.
Then, a vine that spreads way out.

Next, two flowers on the vine.
Then, two pumpkins in a line.

Two green pumpkins on the ground
At last turn orange, big and round.

Now it's time to harvest them.
I pick them up and cut their stems.

Two big pumpkins just for me.
What will I do? Wait and see!

One I'll make into a pie
Then eat with whipped cream, that's no lie!

The other one, I'll scoop it out.
Then, turn it slowly all about

And when I find the perfect place
I'll carve out holes to make a face.

Pumpkins, pumpkins on the vine.
Are worth the wait, every time.

Here is the link for the cycle pictures I used for the flash cards: http://www.kizclub.com/Topics/food/pumpkin.pdf
I added the jack-o-lantern one.

We had a nice little snack I called fall sticks. Graham crackers with a LITTLE frosting and a few fall sprinkles.
