Valerie from Christian Preschool Printables  has started a monthly  “Little Laplinks” meme for collecting free resources to make early elementry lapbooks. This month's theme is PUMPKINS! If you would like to participate, you can read about it on her blog.

Let's get started! First, how about some math?

Now on to art:

Make A Pumpkin Seed Mosaic

Pumpkin Crayon Rubbings 

Pumpkin Hand Prints (to decorate the cover of your lapbook)

You need yellow construction paper, orange and green washable paint, paint brushes, and green marker.

Place the paper on a table in front of the child.  Have him or her make a fist with one hand.  Paint the top of the fist (fingers and knuckles) orange.  Press the fist onto the sheet of paper to resemble a pumpkin.  Repeat until the paper has as many pumpkins prints as desired.  Next, make a green fingerprint at the top of each pumpkin for a stem.  When the paint is dry, use a green marker to add vines to the picture. 

And after all that hard work, you can enjoy a snack:

Pumpkin Poop

Pumkin Seed Snack
