Mini Pumpkin People {An Invitation to Create}

Mini Pumpkin People Invitation to Create | Mama Papa Bubba

Yesterday while visiting The Apple Barn out in Abbotsford, Miss G fell in love with the itty bitty pumpkins scattered throughout the u-pick pumpkin patch.  While we’re planning a family trip to pick the pumpkins we’ll carve later in the month, she totally convinced me to buy a couple of mini ones by telling me all about her grand plans to decorate Rosealina and Harold {yes, she even had names for them} with some of the fun craft supplies we keep on our art cart.  {I mean how can you say no really?}

Pumpkin Seed Counting Game

Pumpkin Seed Counting Game | Mama Papa Bubba

I’ve been a long time fan of No Time for Flashcards, so when Allison, the author, announced that her very first post was live on Adventures in Learning (the new PBS Parents blog), I headed on over to check it out.  As usual, her learning activity was creatively set up, engaging as could be, and easy to put together.  While we really haven’t started doing activities that have specific learning outcomes in mind (we’re more in the play and learn along the way stage), Gracen does love counting and all sorts of games, so I decided we’d give it a shot.

AMAZING Pumpkin Spice Play Dough

Pumpkin Spice Play Dough | Mama Papa Bubba

I adore fall.  The colours, the crisp air, the scarves, the boots, the crunch of leaves underneath your feet…  It all just makes me warm and fuzzy inside.  My social media feeds have been full of it recently, and for that I’m thankful (because hey – I’ll take it however I can get it).  While we may be in the desert and it may still be 40 to 45 degrees on an average day, there’s no reason why we can’t make fall happen right here in our own apartment.  And so we began today.

Pumpkin Seed Sorting

11 / 1 / 129 / 11 / 13

Pumpkin Seed Sorting Tray

This little activity just came about organically.  Gracen and I were scooping out the insides of a pumpkin and she began collecting all of the seeds and carefully placing them in a neat pile off to the side.

A couple of bowls, some “tools”, and a tray later, and she had herself her very own sorting station.

Though she could have collected the seeds much more quickly using her hands, she really liked the challenge of getting underneath the slippery little seeds and scooping them up into her spoons.  Great sensory play and fine motor skill development all in one {totally unplanned} activity? Yes please.

She even took the fun one step further and sampled a raw, goop-covered seed.  She slowly nodded her head and said, “Mmmmm… Yummy”, but her little scrunched nose and furrowed brow told me she felt otherwise. ☺
