    Default Pumpkins galore!! Need project ideas for the kids :)

    I am looking for ideas for preschoolers through first graders
    projects to do with pumpkins.
    I want to donate to both the little ones classes, so I thought I'd get some ideas first!

    Anyone got some cute ideas?

    DS1's preschool class last year carved pumpkins then baked the pumpkin seeds and I think they incorporated it with a story about pumpkin seeds

    Holy cow - how did you get your pumpkins to grow so well. I have three pumpkin plants that are absolutely gorgeous with lots of blooms but only one stinkin pumpkin - any tips?

    One year I grew a pumpkin on accident but it didn't turn orange until after haloween LOL. I threw some old ones into the garden area for compost and one of the seeds planted itself.

    I guess I'm a better acidental gardener then if I do it on purpose LOL

    Well....if you must know.
    I took over an old quail pen,
    (we raise gamebirds)
    so I am sure their leftover "fertilizer" helped

    LOL - gotcha. One time I planted cucumbers on the "down side" of our dog pen - the plants were gorgeous and climbed all over the side of the dog pen and we had tons of cucumbers.

    Have you tried hand pollinating them? I had to do that with my squash and cucumber plants. Just do a google search on how to do it, it's really easy.
