50 Pumpkin Activities Kids Will LOVE for PreK-12

There are so many creative ways to study pumpkins and to use pumpkin activities as an educational tool. Below we have listed chemistry, STEM, and even art pumpkin activities for a variety of ages and grade levels.

One of our favorites is the chemical reaction pumpkin patch activity because it uses common household materials and is fun twist on a popular chemical reaction activity.

Another of our popular pumpkin activities is the Pumpkin Candy Experiment. Plus, it’s a good way to get rid of the sugar without eating it!

If you have a middle or high school student,  there are several pumpkin activities below just for the higher grade levels. These include the Cooking Chemistry activity from Carolina Biological and the Parachuting Pumpkins activity from the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
