Pumpkin Picking


Here's an obvious October activity: picking out pumpkins at your local patch. Have your kids scout out gourds of all shapes and sizes. For a fun family or party activity, have children try to guess the weight of your biggest pumpkin and award a small prize for the kid with the closest guess. Also, on the day of your pumpkin hunt, read a book about pumpkins to get in the spirit with your kids.
