We cracked open a pumpkin to celebrate fall– Let’s see how it went!
Anne was hesitant at first, but found amusement in the sticky seeds! She would reach in and use her fine motor skills to grab one seed at a time and then look with pride when she got one.
Georgia dove right in, tightly gripping and pulling on the pulp. She was determined to keep pulling despite its slippery texture. While some people shy away from this sensory experience, Georgia kept diving her hand in for more!
After some light investigation and some pesky sticky seeds, Liba much preferred a distant view of the pumpkin guts.
Ronan started by poking the shell of the pumpkin, then carefully grabbing at seeds. He then went in for the guts and giggled at the cold squishy texture.
Diverse sensory experiences provide children with a greater context of their world!
