Pumpkins

We also did a pumpkin exploration 2 weeks ago. We cut open a pie pumpkin, added dirt and water and started watching and waiting for the pumpkin seeds to grow from inside the pumpkin.   During the activity we talked about the life cycle of a pumpkin and three things that seeds need to grow, dirt, water and sun. The kids also decided the best place to place the pumpkin would be in the windowsill so it could get light.

Unfortunately, our poor pie pumpkins did not last long and became so yucky I had to throw them out.😢 I was able to save the seeds and re-planted them in a bowl so we could continue to watch the plants grow. The last time we checked one of the plants really took off and started to grow. We will check the pumpkin plants this week and will hopefully post pictures soon. Here is the picture from the original exploration.
