Harvest Printables

Pumpkin Unit Study

If you love all things fall and harvest, like beautiful imperfect round pumpkins there are many wonderful ways to incorporate them into your homeschool routine. Pumpkins can be turned into math, science, and history lessons, but also so much more. For a pumpkin unit study, you really need no special supplies or expensive curriculum, just a few pumpkins and some basic items you already have around the house.

Pumpkin Math

Grab a ruler, a scale, and a flexible measuring tape. Bring home several pumpkins or head to the pumpkin patch with them and work on some math skills.

  • Measure the height, width, and circumference of several pumpkins. Weigh pumpkins on a scale, remove the pulp and seeds and weigh them separately.
  • Have younger children place pumpkins in a line in order of largest to smallest and reverse. Cut open a pumpkin and count the seeds.
  • Once your pumpkin is cut open measure the amount of seeds vs. pulp.
  • Cut a small pumpkin in half, then quarters, then eighths to introduce or reinforce fractions with your child.
  • Use pumpkin seeds as manipulatives for counting, skip counting, grouping, creating arrays, use a fine tip sharpie to write numbers on clean dry seeds to use to create math problems.

Label the Parts of a Pumpkin

For this hands-on activity, you just need toothpicks and a bit of cardstock. Cut cardstock in small 1”x2” squares. Write the parts of a pumpkin on each piece of cardstock- stem, seeds, pulp, skin, and ribs.

Tape each piece to a toothpick. Cut pumpkin open or in half and have them stick the label in the correct place, hands-on fun is much more memorable than a worksheet!

However, if you’d rather not label an actual pumpkin, I don’t blame you one bit! You can still work on labeling and identification when you use our free Parts of a Pumpkin labeling worksheet. The set includes a Coloring Page, Notebooking Page, Chart, Labeling Sheet and a Cut and Paste Activity. You can also grab the pumpkin clipart to use within your own teaching resources, just be sure to read the Terms of Use first.

Cinnamon and Sugar Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

An easy pumpkin recipe is a great way to enjoy a hands-on activity for math, science, and reading skills. Recipes help children learn to follow directions, introduces them to fractions, scientific reactions, and more.

You will need:

  • ¾ cup Pumpkin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin spice
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Remove the seeds from your pumpkin.
  • Wash well, drain in a strainer and remove all bits of pumpkin pulp.
  • Dry seeds well.
  • Toss in a bowl with melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 25 minutes.
  • Allow to cool then store in a container with a tight-fitting lid.
  • A delicious treat to enjoy while learning all about pumpkins!

Quick Facts About Pumpkins:

  • In Colonial America they sliced to top off the pumpkin, removed the seeds and pulp then filled it with milk, spices, and honey, They then baked it right over hot ashes to make the first pumpkin pies!
  • Pumpkins are made of 90% water.
  • Every single part of the pumpkin is edible, even the stem.
  • Pumpkin is considered a fruit, mainly due to its seeds.

Decorating pumpkins this year but want an educational spin on it? Paint your pumpkin like a globe, label the oceans and continents. Have older children label additional details.

Pumpkin Prayer Printables

pumpkinprayerheader2

Over the years, the Pumpkin Prayer has been one of our most popular Fall printables.  This year I was so excited to update this resource to include all new graphics in color and black and white.

pumpkinprayerprintableFor those of you now familiar with the Pumpkin Prayer, it is a simple visual prayer you can use with your children during October.  Many families will be carving pumpkins around Halloween and this is a special way you can connect each step of the pumpkin carving to an important heartfelt prayer for your children.   If you are involved in your children’s ministry this makes a great take home booklet to remind children to let their lights shine before men.  This free set is available in color or black and white and you can print it here on our sister site ChristianPreschoolPrintables.com

Pumpkin Prayer Coloring Page

Okay, I know it’s a tad early to start posting Pumpkin themed printables, but better early than late right?

Besides, I know many of you are NOT procrastinators (like myself) and I’m sure you’re already planning for the Fall months ahead.

So here is a simple activity page that features the Pumpkin Prayer, which is a step by step carving guide for explaining the message of salvation as you cut into and decorate a pumpkin this Harvest season.  There is also a blank pumpkin for children to draw on their own pumpkin face, so these would make excellent take home items for those of you in Children’s Ministry or Daycare centers.

It’s October and pumpkins are everywhere.

What a perfect opportunity to get creative with your little ones and tie in a little devotional as well.

Quite a few years ago I created this Pumpkin Prayer Minibook, and it’s become one of our most popular resources on Christian Preschool Printables.

 

PumpkinPrayerCards

Today I thought I’d create a similar resource for older children or even young adults.

These Pumpkin Prayer Cards are perfect to pass out at youth Bible studies, place on your harvest tables, tie around pumpkins or insert in your bulletins.

Pumpkins & Gourds Photo Matching

PumpkinMatchingGame

One of my favorite things about Fall is all the beautiful pumpkins and gourds that start popping up at the stores.

I don’t know what it is about these bumpy squash that I love so much,

but my children love to dig in those big bins to find the most unusual ones.

Often these little pumpkins are on the expensive side,

so when I found these graphics I knew I had to get them and make a learning game to share with everyone!

PumpkinMatch

 

Print Pumpkins & Gourds Game Here

This set includes 12 different pumpkins and gourds for children to match up.

I recommend printing two sets on cardstock,

one for your gameboard and one for playing pieces.

This would also make a fun matching game to take with you to the pumpkin patch,

and let children have a Harvest Treasure Hunt!

You might even bring a few home for a hands-on matching center
