Tools We Use
Here are some items that pair well with these activities. You will use each of these items over and over during all my printable preschool activity packs.
This Pumpkin Life Cycle Learning Pack contains 62 pages of fun and learning activities for children in preschool and kindergarten.
The activities included in this 62 page printable pack are:
- Alphabet Flashcards. Once these cards have been printed out and laminated, they can be used for teaching the letters of the alphabet, alphabetical order, spelling simple words and matching the lower case letters to the uppercase ones.
- Number Flashcards. Again, print these out and laminate before using them for learning to count from 1 to 10. They can also be used to match the number with the word number, and for learning simple addition or subtraction. They can be used in conjunction with the alphabet flashcards, by having your child spell out the numbers with the alphabet cards.
- Pumpkin Life Cycle. Included is a printable poster of the pumpkin life cycle as well as a cut and paste page for your child to complete while learning the order of the events that take place during the pumpkin life cycle.
- Do-A-Dot pages. Find the letter and dot them out.
- I Spy. How many of the pictures can you find?
- Simple Handwriting Practice. Great for helping kids learn to spell while practicing their letter formation while learning the different phases of the life cycle.
- Number Puzzles. Print out and laminate for repetitive use. Learn to count in 1’s, 2’s, 3’s, 4’s and 5’s while making the puzzles.
- 3 Part Puzzles. Print out and laminate and then have fun matching the pieces of the puzzles.
- Cut and Paste Missing Numbers. Learn to count and practice scissor skills at the same time. Cut out the numbers and paste them in the correct places.
- Size Sequencing Cards. Cut out and laminate for durability. Place the cards in order from smallest to largest or largest to smallest. They can also be used to place in sequence of the events of the butterfly life cycle.
- Count and Clip Cards. Count the pictures and clip the answer with a paperclip or peg or place a pom pom on the answer.
- Simple Addition and Subtraction. Color or clip the correct answer.
- Vocabulary Cards. Included are 3 part cards as well as information cards that can be used to learn about the turkey life cycle. They also include pumpkin facts.
You will love the life cycle of a pumpkin book.
The story writing pages are a great activity for children to express what they learn as they grow their own pumpkins. A great activity for this is to grown your own pumpkin in a pumpkin.
