Pumpkin around the world

Inspired by this post of fun things to do with a pumpkin, I picked up a pumpkin this weekend. Actually, I mostly got it because I had a coupon to get it FREE, and I'm a sucker for free produce! (Of which I got $17 free this weekend!) The pretty pumpkin has been contendly sitting on my kitchen cabinet this week waiting to be used. So, this morning, Julie (my beautiful sister)and I were talking and wheels started turning. So we printed off some continents off of Enchanted Learning and set Josiah and Lauren to work. They wrote and colored the names of the continents, cut them out and pinned them on the pumpkin. Then they took a sharpie and wrote the names of the oceans on the pumpkins. Here's the result. We'll see what else the pumpkin turns out to be. For today, it made a very fun social studies lesson!
