Day 1
We read Pumpkin Day, Pumpkin Night
and The Biggest Pumpkin Ever
. Then we made these pumpkins.
I gave them small white paper plates, and had them paint the back side with orange paint. Then we cut out brown construction paper stems and glued them on. I love art projects like this: easy to prepare for, easy to clean up, and the kids loved doing it.
Day 2
One of my favorite pumpkin desserts is Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread. One of my friends introduced this to me a few years ago, and now it is one of my favorite fall foods. K and E helped me make a couple of loaves today.
While the bread was baking, I cleaned up the mess made by my little helpers and they colored a pumpkin picture.
We then read Pooh's Pumpkin
and the Plumply, Dumply Pumpkin
. After that our bread was ready, and it was sooooooo good!
Looks like a lot of fun. I really need to start liking pumpkin ;)

We went to the pumpkin patch today. I should continue the theme through the rest of the week. Your pumpkin bread looks amazing!
