🎃 PUMPKINS 🎃
The children in preschool thoroughly enjoyed exploring a pumpkin through a hands-on sensory and creative experience. They worked together to scoop out the pumpkin, exploring the seeds, flesh and different textures inside. This encouraged their curiosity as they used their senses to investigate the pumpkin, describing how it felt, looked and smelled. The activity supported the development of their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and physical control as they scooped and handled the pumpkin. The children then used their imagination and creativity to decorate their pumpkins, making individual choices about colours, patterns and designs. This experience also encouraged communication, cooperation, confidence and independence, while providing an exciting opportunity to learn about seasonal changes and autumn traditions.
