The Ultimate Collection of Pumpkin Theme Activities

Inside: Looking for pumpkin theme activities? Here are over 90 fun activities your toddlers and preschoolers will love!

I get so giddy when October arrives! There are so many fun fall activities to choose from, indoors and out.

One of my favorite themes this month involves pumpkins.

As soon as I see them in the grocery stores, I am ready! So I put together this huge collection of  pumpkin theme activities as a resource.

Finding this collection was amazing, to be honest. I mean, I knew there were some good ideas out there for the preschool pumpkin theme, but over 90? And not just art. We are talking fine motor, literacy, play dough, math, science, sensory, dramatic play, cooking, small world, and large motor!
