Snatching Pumpkins Song
by Debbie Hasbrook

Five little pumpkins sitting in the pumpkin patch,
SNATCH went a pumpkin to make a pumpkin pie.
Four little pumpkins sitting in the pumpkin patch,
SNATCH went a pumpkin for a long truck ride.
Three little pumpkins sitting in the pumpkin patch,
SNATCH went a pumpkin to become a scary light.
Two little pumpkins sitting in the pumpkin patch,
SNATCH went the pumpkin to decorate the night.
One little pumpkin sitting in the pumpkin patch,
SNATCH went the pumpkin to give someone a fright.
No little pumpkins sitting in the pumpkin patch
We’ll have to wait till next year when pumpkins grow just right.

Post it Note Pumpkin Patch

Here is a fun activity for toddlers who love to play with post-it notes.

Materials needed: 
  • Orange post it notes
  • green construction paper
  • crayons
Cut out pumpkins shapes from the orange post-it notes. Careful not to cut off the sticky part, include this part in the bottom of the pumpkins shapes.

Let the children color the green paper to make the garden part of the pumpkin patch.

Give each child one sticky pumpkin at a time and let them put it where ever they like. You will have to help press the sticky part of the pumpkin to secure it. You can glue the rest of the pumpkin down to secure it when the children are done.

Let the children color the pumpkin if they would like.
