Pumpkin Kindergarten Extension Pack

So, I’ve schedule some fun themed filled review days for the boy this school year.  He did this K Pumpkin Pack last Thursday, while he was staying with Grandma.  Lil’Bro had a heart study, so it worked out great.  He was able to do it by himself, therefore allowing the day to be “counted.”   If you’re looking for a fun theme day next week for your kindergarten, make sure and grab this new Pumpkin K Extension Pack.  If you need some pumpkin fun for your tot or preschooler, swing by this post.

Pumpkin K Extension Pack

Here’s what you’ll find inside: Pumpkin Math, Tracing Strips: Pumpkin Varieties, Skip Counting Puzzles, Pumpkin Parts, Pumpkin 100 Chart Art, Pumpkin Observations and Pumpkin Spin & Graph.  Add a few pumpkin books and your day is set.

Flower Center Ideas

This week, as you know, we are expanding our Flower Theme printables.  I’ve found some fabulous ideas that can be use for independent centers.

Arts & Crafts
I came across Easel Art Pages on Making Learning Fun this summer. I love how they give visual step by step instructions on how to paint different things!  I decided to give it a try and created this flower one for you.

Pattern Blocks
PreKinders has quite the assortment of FREE pattern block designs.  She offers them in color and black and white.  Just scroll down to the bottom to download the flower templates.

Please note that not all pattern blocks are the same size, therefore not all might fit perfectly with the template provided above.

Use these templates to create your own pattern blocks.  You can also purchase them through Amazon or other various educational websites.

Pretend Play
When  I came across the following post about a Flower Shop drama center, I just had to share it!! Pre-K Pages even has a free printable for you to download!! If I’m really honest with you, I just want to set one up because I would have so much fun pretending with it!!

Click each image above to be directed to the post.

Pumpkin Centers

This week we are expanding our Pumpkin Theme printables. 

To get you started, I’ve found some fabulous resources that can be use in independent centers. 

Fine Motor

My Montessori Journey has wonderful pumpkin based activities that will help your child work on their fine motor skills. 

Pumpkin Transfer with a Spoon

Pumpkin Art Project

You usually can find various decorative pumpkins at your nearest craft store and even dollar store.  However, you could also use candy corn pumpkins!  If all else fails, orange pom-poms would work perfectly as well.

Art

Making Learning Fun has a pumpkin Easel Art Page.

Easy Easel Art: Pumpkin

Play-Dough

Make some pumpkin scented play-dough or just use an orange one with our Pp for Pumpkin play-dough mat.  To keep your kiddos engaged longer, provide a few pumpkin cookie cutters and brown pipe cleaners for stems they can stick in rolled up balls. 

Pumpkin Play-Dough Mat

Hopefully these ideas will keep your kiddos entertained for awhile.

Leaf Centers

This week we are expanding our Leaf theme printables.

To get you started, I’ve found some fabulous resources that can be use in independent centers or even as additional supplements to our printables.

Art

Another great idea from Making Learning Fun.  Provide your kiddo with a coffee filter and the fall colors from a Do-A-Dot Rainbow Art Set.  Once they finish adding colors to the filter, spray it with a little water and let dry.  Finish this project with them later or even the next day.

Picture taken from Making Learning Fun

Play-Dough

Go on a leaf hunt and collect a variety of leaves to create leaf prints.  You won’t need much to keep the kiddo entertain for awhile.  Now pull out some play-dough and let them press the leaves into it.  To make it even more fun create your own scented play-dough.  Special thanks to NatureStore for the idea. (If you don’t have play-dough just make some leaf rubbings.)

Picture taken from NatureStore.

Pretend Play

Sensory bins are a great way to keep kiddos entertain and work on fine motor skills.  Here are a couple of examples I found around the world wide web.  Just follow the links below to find out what was put into each of them.

From 1+1+1=1

From Counting Coconuts

Hope these ideas are helpful.

Apple Science

The boy and I did another observation activity.  This time we observed APPLES.  

Click to Download.

Unfortunately, we ran out of printer ink and I was unable to print it!  I was bummed.  So, we had to improvise.  I let him touch my computer screen to point out his answer.

Materials:

• an apple 
• observation sheet
• crayons or markers

Directions:

• Use the worksheet to guide your observations. 

 

• You can decide ahead of time if you want them to listen to the apple as they take a bite out of it or just listen to it as a whole.  We decided to use the “crunch” factor.

 

• If your kiddo doesn’t understand the term sweet, sour or salty.  Pull out the salt by all means and have them taste it. Have them drink a little water to clean their palate. Then ask them to taste the apple. Do they taste the same? 

 

Special Note: When observing the texture I tried to use clip art that your child could relate to and that would be around everyone’s house.  I used a mirror to represent smooth and a cheese grater to represent rough.  So, if you child doesn’t know the term smooth have him/her touch a mirror and say, “This is smooth.”  Do the same with the cheese grater. Then have him/her compare what they are observing to both objects.  You can then ask your child, “Is your ______ smooth like the mirror or rough/bumpy like the cheese grater?”

If you have more than one apple variety you can have a taste test and graph the results.

Click to Download.

And that was it.  As I mentioned before the boy loves observation sheets, but he likes them even better when he actually gets to eat something when he does it!
