Pumpkin Play

For the past few days, the children have been using wooden mallets to hammer golf tees into some pumpkins. The first two pumpkins had very thick skin so it was difficult, but the second set of pumpkins are perfect. The children have been busy pounding tees into the pumpkin. The children predicted what might be inside the pumpkin. Amir said, "seeds" and Shirley said "lots of string!" Some children started to pound small cookie cutter shapes into the pumpkin. This allowed them to get a peek inside the pumkpin. Ryan said, "Look, I see rice!" Shirleys said, "It's string! I was really right!"
