Snatching Pumpkin's Song

Snatching Pumpkins Song

Five little pumpkins in the pumpkin patch,

SNATCH went a pumpkin to make a pumpkin pie.

Four little pumpkins in the pumpkin patch,

SNATCH went a pumpkin for a long, truck ride.

Three little pumpkins in the pumpkin patch,

SNATCH went a pumpkin to become a glowing light.

Two little pumpkins in the pumpkin patch,

SNATCH went the pumpkin to decorate the night.

One little pumpkin in the pumpkin patch,

SNATCH went the pumpkin to give someone a fright.

No little pumpkins in the pumpkin patch,

We’ll have to wait till next year till the pumpkins grow just right.

Post-it-Note Pumpkin Patch

Materials needed:

1.       Orange post it notes, green construction paper, crayons.

2.       Cut out pumpkins shapes from the orange post-it notes. Careful not to cut off the sticky part, include this part in the bottom of the pumpkins shapes.

3.       Let the children color the green paper to make the garden part of the pumpkin patch.

4.       Give each child one sticky pumpkin at a time and let them put it where ever they like. You will have to help press the sticky part of the pumpkin to secure it. You can glue the rest of the pumpkin down to secure it when the children are done.

5.       Let the children color the pumpkin if they would like.

This craft works best with two children at a time.
