Teaching The Life Cycle of a Pumpkin

 Materials

1 orange plate or orange pumpkin made from construction paper
green yarn
life cycle cutouts
crayons/colored pencils/markers for coloring cutouts
scissors
hole-punch
stapler or glue

For this activity, I had the students create their own pumpkin life cycle diorama.

Pictured above is writing completed by a second grade student from Drexel Neumann Academy and her life-cycle diorama during the C.L.A.R.E. program. 


Here are links to the life cycle cutouts and pumpkin paper:
