We been reading our copy of the traditional song and fingerplay, Five Little Pumpkins, doing all the normal things like showing the ordinal numbers on our fingers, singing it with a felt board activity in which we put up pumpkins onto the board and count them, and making a little booklet.We also did this simple art project, putting the five little pumpkin onto their fence. I tried to have ER write the numeral on each pumpkin, I think you can tell how well THAT went by the 2 and 5! Those curves are still really hard for her; she traced the three to avoid tears. I probably shoud've started out with writing each in pencil and having her trace, live and learn:)
It just wouldn't be October without the Five Little Pumpkins! Love the Popsicle fence. :)

My daughter would love whipping out the Elmer's glue to make a popsicle fence...she loves the runny glue opposed to the glue stick. Thanks for reminding me about this classic rhyme!
