Nature pumpkins - use leaves, conkers or any nature finds to make natural faces on the pumpkins. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has ordered and downloaded the pumpkin resource over the last few days! The website has been so busy ❤️❤️

Pumpkin potions in the outdoor area is the best! 

The instruction sheet for the activity is in the Halloween activity set. There’s also a pumpkin activity set and so much more on the website for this time of year. Comment ‘pumpkins’ if you want the link to this section on my website. 

For this, you will need: pumpkins, bicarbonate of soda, washing up liquid, bio glitter and white vinegar. The smell is quite strong, so if you have little ones with sensory issues - just be aware!

Measure the autumn finds… 

Use our printed resource alongside your own autumn finds to compare and measure. Which is the shortest/tallest? Lots of gorgeous early mathematical language to come out of this one. 

Comment ‘autumn measuring’ for the link sending over - free for my members or available to purchase as a download. 

It doesn’t have to look great, throw in lots of items to measure along with non standard units such as cubes and then include rulers and tape measures if the concept is understood. Send the children off to find their own autumn finds to compare and find out which is bigger, taller, smaller, wider, longer etc…
