Fun Pumpkin Activities to do with your kids (including experiments!)

Pumpkin Activities
One thing I miss about my pre-school teaching days are all of the fun activities! So I thought I would start putting together fun activities that you can do with your children – whether you home school or are just looking for something fun to do together! And since some of us have some older children (sniff sniff…I know I can’t believe it either!) I tried to get a pretty good range of activities for all ages! Let me know if you have any other ideas or if you try any! J
