Riley's Rhymes - 5 Little Pumpkins

I wanted to have a mini fall unit for Riley and I choose to work with pumpkins. These are a few of the activities that I did with Riley. If you would like the printable pumpkin mini pack, please see my post HERE.

I made a simple sensory bin with black beans and pumpkin erasers. I had Riley find the pumpkins with the tweezers. This fine motor activity is somewhat difficult for him but I have him keep trying.

I made a simple gate and aded velcro to the pumpkin stickers that I found. We added the pumpkins to the gate while reading the 5 little pumpkins rhyme.

We practiced shapes with this cute little pumpkin shape activity. Riley matched each pumpkin to the correct shape outline.

We played with orange play dough and made simple pumpkins adding green pipe cleaner stems.

I made simple shape puzzles that I attached to Mega Blocks. Riley matched the two pieces of the shapes.

Riley separated the color cubes into the correct pumpkin color cups. I had him use a spoon for more fine motor activity.

We practiced number recognition with the pumpkin number cards that are included in my mini pack. Riley added the pumpkin erasers to each number while we counted.

He played with an orange balloon, trying to keep it off the floor. He had fun with the balloon.

He made a pumpkin stamp picture. He stamped orange paint into each circle.

You can tell how much he loves to paint! Love that smile.

Lastly, he made a paper plate pumpkin cutting orange paper and gluing it onto the plate. It was a good unit for October. I hope you enjoy. Stay tuned for our next rhyme unit.
