Our 3 Favorite Halloween Pumpkin Activities 3个最受欢迎的万圣节南瓜活动

Pumpkin bath 给南瓜泡澡

There is water, there are bubbles and big beautiful pumpkins. What is not to love about this activity?

It’s a great sensory play activity for any age. And it prepares your pumpkins for the next following activities.

Don’t forget to add lots of bubbles to make it even more fun. I gave my little on a tooth brush to clean the pumpkins but your kids can also simply use their hands. Later I also added spoons, cups and other containers to make it a longer water play activity.

有水、有泡泡、还有完美的小南瓜。有什么不喜欢的呢？这个活动也属于感知游戏，不管什么年龄都喜欢玩水。准备南瓜泡澡不要忘记用很多泡泡浴，这样会更好玩。我把老牙刷给我女儿，她最爱用着把东西刷干净，但是当然孩子也可以直接用手。过了一会我还加了几个勺子、杯子和别的容器，让这个玩水的游戏变成更丰富。

Pumpkin painting 给南瓜上颜色

After all your pumpkins have taken a bath, they’ll need a new outfit.

My girl was super excited to be able to paint the pumpkins. She could choose the colors and brushes freely but she also likes to use her hands. For more sparkle I added glitter on top of her painted pumpkins.

南瓜洗好澡了以后，干干净净，就可以开始给它们穿上新衣服，彩色的衣服。我的孩子自己选择喜欢的颜色和喜欢的毛笔，然后直接开始给南瓜上颜色。因为我很喜欢闪闪的，我还给了还没有干的颜料上点闪粉。

Pumpkin carving 南瓜雕刻

Some of the pumpkins we didn’t paint, we used to try some pumpkin carving.

Of course safety first. Any knife should be handled by the adult only. I cut out a hole on the top of the pumpkin and allowed my little one to use spoons or simply her hands to take out the pumpkin guts. A great sensory experience.

You can also keep some of the guts to make Sensory bags for the very little ones to explore or a sensory bin full of pumpkin guts!

有的南瓜我们没有上颜色，就留着准备雕刻。当然安全第一，所以只要大人用着刀雕刻。我先给南瓜切出来一个洞，然后邀请我的孩子用勺子或用手挖出来南瓜的内脏。这个活动还是特别好玩，很有感觉，一个非常适合任何年龄孩子的感知游戏。

最后你还可以用着南瓜的内脏做成感知袋或者放感知箱里让孩子好好的探索。
