Making a set of textured pumpkins for a tactile resource
Use a variety of sensory materials that differ
from each other in weight, look and feel. Cut out using the pattern
guide templates and glue together. Punch a hole and tie on short curling ribbon lengths for the tendrils and write
number sequences on the pumpkins as wished.
Suggested materials - illustrated draw, foam, felt, clay,
glitter card

Alternatively,
you can print a set of the smaller illustrated pumpkins, cut them out, laminate
and trim to play, or plan a group painting activity and offer sheets of blank
paper or pre-drawn pumpkin oultines to children interested in creating
coloured pumpkins. Once ready, trim to the outline and hole punch the stalk area, thread and knot curling ribbon tendrils.

People pumpkins!
Print, colour fill and add side ties to a pumpkin face mask and tendrils to the stalk
area.
Adapt the rhyme where wanted to; along came ... and
asked one day, 'Can I have your company'? and took you right away.
