This isn’t just an autumn art activity. Instead of coloring the seeds with fall hues, your child can go with green and make spring or summer trees. In the winter, try some white tempera and make snow-covered seed-leaves.

What can the
pumpkin seed art activity teach your child? A lot! Aside from the artsy aspect,
there’s color recognition, math (count the seeds or make patterns with them),
science (explore the seeds through the senses and discover the wonders of the
fall season) and it also builds fine motor abilities.
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
Pumpkin
seeds
·
Food
coloring (in fall colors)
·
Sandwich
baggies
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Color the seeds. Put them in baggies.
Add a drop or two of food coloring into each bag. Shake, and then pour the
seeds out onto a piece of wax paper. Let them dry. For more detailed steps,
check out my pumpkin seed coloring how-to.
2. Sculpt a trunk. Spread the clay out
on the card stock in the shape of a trunk. Think of it like your child is
finger painting with clay. Unless the clay is very old, it should stick. If it
doesn’t, use a few dabs of glue.
3. Glue the dried colorful seeds on top
of the trunk as leaves. Make patterns or just attach them in a random fall
spread. Your child can also add a few to the bottom of the paper to look like
fallen leaves.
That’s it!
It’s a super-simple fun fall craft for kids.

ReplyDeleteThis pumpkin seed art project is a creative way to teach kids about the beauty of nature and the importance of creativity. It reminds me of how crucial it is to nurture a safe and secure environment, both offline and online. In the digital world, figures like Josh Baazov have shown us the dark side of corporate espionage and cyber vulnerabilities. Just as we guide children to create beautiful art, we must also guide them in understanding the importance of cyber security. Protecting our online spaces ensures that creativity and innovation can flourish without fear of exploitation.
