My Book Tie-In of the Week
We read Five Little Pumpkins illustrated by Ben Mantle. This wonderful version of the book has light hearted pictures that didn't scare JDaniel. I love the happy pumpkins and fun characters in the book. It is a padded board board which I have found helps books last. That is really important when it comes to this book. We will be reading it for a long time.
Craft
We painted egg carton cups with orange bingo markers and placed them on a fence. It was fun to use the egg pumpkins to retell the story. The green strips were left over from a Sunday school lesson I taught two weeks ago. They are lick and stick.
Experiment
Orange food coloring was created using red and yellow neon food coloring. JDaniel and I mixed the colors using cotton balls. This was fun, but very messy.
Disclaimer: I review books for Tiger Tales. Five Little Pumpkins is a book I was sent to review. The thoughts about the book are my own.

What a great idea. There is nothing my girls ages 3 and 10 and I love to do more than ART PROJECTS! I have a cabinet stocked with everything.
ReplyDeleteYour craft idea is so cute! I've been looking for pumpkin activities for Georgia - this would tie in perfectly with her "5 Little Pumpkins" poem she's been obsessed with. Thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteWe haven't read this book yet, have to check it out. Love this meme. Need to try and remember to jump in next week!
ReplyDeleteYou do such creative things!
ReplyDeleteLove the five little pumpkins on the fence project. What a great way to tie the book to the project.
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkins on the fence are cute. :-)
ReplyDeleteI debated about linking up, but we don't celebrate Halloween, so it wouldn't be fair to link up and not comment on other blogs. I may link up after the holidays are over. Hope you understand!
