Playing is fun and learning can be too!

Pumpkin Patch Fallout!

Age 3+, Age 4+, Age 5+, Age 6+, Fall, Fine/Gross Motor Skills, Gross Motors, Preschool, Seasonal

The boys named this activity the Pumpkin Patch Fallout! They were pretending all the pumpkins fell out of the pumpkin patch. Then they worked together to collect all the pumpkins and put them back in the patch. This was a fun activity to help work on gross motors, hand-eye coordination and teamwork. I bought the skeleton arms and balloons at the Dollar Tree!

Materials:
Pumpkin Balloons (I bought them at Dollar Tree)
Skeleton Arms (I bought them at Dollar Tree)
Bucket or Bin

Here is a video of the boys doing the activity!

Start by blowing up the balloons until you fill your bucket. Then tip the bucket over and work together to collect the pumpkins one at a time.
