Pumpkins are one of my favorite things about fall. I like to use them for decoration and bake them into pies. The kids love to carve them into jack-o-lanterns. We have even had fun learning about pumpkins in a pumpkin unit study.
There are so many creative ways to study pumpkins and to use them as an educational tool. Here are twenty-one ideas that you and your kids will LOVE!
