🧡Save the Pumpkins Activity🧡 

Happy Monday Academy of Westhaven Families! It’s been such an amazing month so far, it’s hard to believe that we are in the last week of October. 

Fall is in the air, and pumpkins are everywhere! It's the perfect time to engage preschoolers in a fun and educational activity that also develops their fine motor skills! We had a blast while exploring this exciting "Save the Pumpkins" activity designed to captivate little ones while enhancing their hand-eye coordination and dexterity. We started out by setting up our “Pumpkin Patch” and our littles were ready to accomplish the task at hand with tongs and a cup to put the “safe” pumpkins into. This was the perfect activity for building those fine motor skills in our littles working on handwriting and grasping! We did this activity in groups of two, but you can adjust it to your liking. Once the mission was complete they were excited to count and see how many pumpkins they were each able to save. “Save the Pumpkins" is a delightful and engaging fine motor activity that combines imaginative play with skill development. It's the perfect way to celebrate the fall season while helping preschoolers enhance their hand-eye coordination and precision. As the little ones rescue their pumpkin friends, they're also nurturing important motor skills that will serve them well in their future adventures. So, grab your sensory bin and some mini pumpkins, and let the pumpkin-saving adventures begin! Happy fall, and happy learning. Check out the fun below!
