Day 1219 | Pumpkin Poundng
/
Looking for a quick + easy + mess-free fall activity? Here you go! I remember seeing the idea online last year and have been waiting patiently for pumpkins to show up again to try it out. See the details below.
Pumpkin Pounding
Things you'll need:
- a pumpkin (or squash)
- golf tees
- a rubber mallet (or another type of hammer...but the rubber one works really well)
- rubber bands
The basic details
- Let the kiddos pound tees into the pumpkin however they'd like. I have to admit...I though this part was really fun, too.
- When they've tired of pounding, offer the rubber bands to start making shapes and designs using the tees as the outer border. Added bonus? Fine motor skill honing. Woohoo!
There you have it. Super simple, right? And super fun.
