Directions
First read the life cycle of the pumpkin. If your child is younger you may want to read it to them. For the
older kids I created a set of questions and a word search. For the younger kids I created a set of
sequencing cards and coloring page. For the sequencing cards you will need to cut them out. Mix the
cards up. Then have your child put them in order from the beginning of the pumpkin life cycle to the
end.
