3 SPOOKLEY THE SQUARE PUMPKIN ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

Whether your kids are feeling crafty, or need a little math practice, I’ve got some great ideas for them.

Square Pumpkin 100 Chart

Supplies: 

• Free printable pumpkin 100 chart.
• Colored pencils, crayons, or markers.
  • You’ll need: orange, blue, white, green, brown, and black.

How To: 

1. First, grab a blank 100 chart and some coloring utensils.
2. Next, have kids color each square according to the number and colors called out at the top of the page.
3. Finally, show off the adorable square pumpkin your child created by hanging it on the fridge.
   1. Kids will get some great math practice using this chart!

Spookley Inspired Perler Beads

Supplies: 

• Perler beads.
  • We used: orange, brown, yellow, and green.
• Perler bead pegboard.
• Optional: free printable square pumpkin perler bead lay out.
  • My middle kiddo liked having a pattern to work off of. If your children are feeling creative, they can free-design their pumpkin from start to finish!
• Parchment paper.
• Iron.

How To: 

1. If your child is using the printable lay out, they can lay out perler beads on the base according to the chart.
2. For those not using the lay out chart, just set them loose to create.
   1. I LOVE the fine motor practice my kiddos get from this activity.
3. When everything is laid out, grab your iron and melt the beads according to your package’s directions.
4. Give the finished product plenty of time to cool!

Pumpkin Color By Shape Page

Supplies: 

• Free printable pumpkin color by shape page.
• Colored pencils, crayons, or markers.
  • You will need: orange, yellow, and green.

How To: 

1. Give kiddos the supplies.
2. Younger kids will need help determining which shape needs each color. Older kids may be able to sort that out themselves, especially if they’ve been working on colors as sight words.
3. Have kids color all their pumpkins according to shape.
   1. This is a great shape review as well as fine motor practice for very young kids.
   2. Older kids will still get some fine motor practice and math reinforcement from this page.
