Pumpkin Shape Craft

The Pumpkin Shape Craft is a playful way to combine art with math. Students use circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles to build unique pumpkin faces. It’s the perfect opportunity to practice shape identification and counting in a hands-on way.

Ideas for Use:

• Have students count how many of each shape they used and record their answers for number formation and counting practice.
• Create a class pumpkin patch bulletin board.
• Extend the lesson with simple addition problems to strengthen fact fluency.

🎃Pair this craft with the read aloud “Pumpkin Eye” by Denise Fleming or “Sixteen Runaway Pumpkins” by Dianne Ochiltree.

Editable Pumpkin Craft

The Editable Pumpkin Craft is all about flexibility. Teachers can type in CVC words, math facts, sight words, and more before printing, making it a resource you can reuse for different skills all season long.

Ideas for Use:

• Practice math facts by filling pumpkins with addition or subtraction facts and letting students solve them as they decorate.
• Practice rhyming by printing pumpkins with word families. Students can decorate their pumpkin, then brainstorm and record more rhyming words.
• Strengthen decoding and reading of phonics skill words by choosing targeted words for the pumpkin seeds.

🎃Pair this craft with the read aloud “Pick a Pumpkin” by Patricia Toht or “How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin? by Margaret McNamara.

Parts of the Pumpkin Craft

The Parts of the Pumpkin Craft brings science to life by helping students learn vocabulary like stem, leaf, pulp, skin, vine, and seeds. It pairs perfectly with a real pumpkin investigation, making it a hands-on way to connect science to the season.

Ideas for Use:

• Turn it into a sequencing activity: have students explain how pumpkins grow, then use their labeled craft as a visual aid.
• Explore a real pumpkin. Students can identify each part of a real pumpkin as they label their personal pumpkin craft.
• Add the finished crafts to your classroom science wall or other display area.

🎃Pair this craft with the read aloud “Seed, Sprout, Pumpkin Pie” by Jill Esbaum or “Pumpkin Jack” by Will Hubbell.
