Pumpkin fun is never done! Today we continued our pumpkin-themed art explorations. So far we have done pumpkin decorating with markers, paint (with brushes then sponges), and now glue with fun decorations! Pumpkin season doesn't have to end with October!
(These activities all help build creativity, cooperation, and fine motor skills)
