Exploding Pumpkin!

This Exploding Pumpkin Experiment is super neat! Can't wait to do it with the kids!

Lately Livia has been regressing. It is a pattern that I have gotten all too familiar with — 2 weeks forward, 1 week back. So this afternoon when a quick activity was needed I could not think of anything more fun and engaging to do than a simple sensory science activity. As an added bonus it is blue which got Meatball super excited! We had a blast with this volcano pumpkin experiment!

The Teal Pumpkin Project: How to Participate and a Little Inspiration

Inspiration and Ideas for the Teal Pumpkin Project

Have ya’ll heard about The Teal Pumpkin Project run by FARE?

Launched last year as a national campaign the Teal Pumpkin Project™ raises awareness of food allergies and promotes inclusion of all trick-or-treaters throughout the Halloween season. With over 15 million Americans living with food allergies this campaign is an amazing way to help kids with food allergies enjoy the Halloween season — because Trick-o-Treating is absolutely no fun if you don’t get treats you can enjoy!
