PUMPKIN SIZE & SHAPES

PUMPKIN FACE
Cut out a large circle shape from orange felt.
Place the pumpkin shape on a large felt board.
Set out two black triangle shapes, a black small square shape and a large rectangle shape.
Show your toddler how to arrange the shapes on the pumpkin shape, with the two triangles for eyes, the small square as a nose and the rectangle as a mouth.
Name the shapes as you place them on the pumpkin.
Now remove the shapes and have your toddler make a face on the pumpkin using the shapes.
Variation: You could also cut out a small green felt square shape to use as a top for the pumpkin.

PUMPKIN SIZES
Cut out three orange felt pumpkin shapes in three different sizes, large medium and small.
Set out the pumpkins on the floor according to size – smallest to largest.
Ask your toddler to point to the pumpkin that is the largest.
Now ask, which pumpkin is the smallest.
