Teachers of young children are always on the lookout for topics that will interest young children and provide a multitude of opportunities for math, science, inquiry, dramatic play and art. Pumpkins fit the bill perfectly. The children made tops to investigate laws of motion, measured and recorded the characteristics of pumpkins, tried a little pumpkin sink and float and played a pumpkin strategy game with the big kids. We even had our own pumpkin patch in the classroom.
