Muffin Tin Monday- The Pumpkin Version:)

So last Monday was "candy day", and we celebrated very low key by taking our kiddos to Chuck E Cheese. I did however do a fun Pumpkin themed Muffin Tin. The kids LOVED it, and I may never be able to do an unthemed one again:/
Here is what it looked like:

Here is what was in them: From left top to bottom right

Clementine with little face drawn on sitting on a pile of pumpkin seeds, Orange Izze,

Harvest Orange Tomato Soup, Carrot Coins, Grilled Cheese Pumpkin shaped Croutons, 

Pumpkin Frosted Sugar Cookie, with tiny packet of Pop Rocks.

They thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, however the grilled cheese croutons were the biggest hit.

Linking up at Muffin Tin Mom!

Teach Me Thursday-Pumpkin Lapbook

So we have been dabbling with Lapbooks this year and I am LOVING it! They are fun for me & the kids, plus they really reinforce what ever topic we are covering. I am sharing our pumpkin lapbook and the links I used for most of the printables. I wasn't able to locate all of them again, so next time I will bookmark them better! Speaking of bookmarking, you may want to book mark my post for next year since most of you have already covered pumpkins:/ This is the Cover:

Here are the contents:

These are the links for the items in the lapbook:

• My Pumpkin Book
• My Pumpkin Fact Pocket
• Pumpkin Fact Cards
• Peter Pumpkin Eater Puppets ( there is more than 1 link to click, so I just directed you to the page)
• Pumpkin Acrostic
• What can we make with Pumpkin Book
• Life Cycle of a Pumpkin Book
• Picture Print Outs for Pumpkin Cycle Book

The 2 things NOT listed with a link are the "What words can you make from PUMPKIN PATCH" book & the pumpkin "pie" spice wheel. You could easily duplicate these though without a printable. I used an awesome printable from the website Lulu and the Pumpkin Lapbook by Lilliput Station. But it is telling me now that I don't have access to it, grr;( So if you want to make a pumpkin spice wheel. Simply cut a circle of orange paper and a slightly bigger wheel of brown. Quarter the brown "pie" and glue nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger onto the quarters. Cut a quarter out of the orange wheel and connect to the brown wheel with a brad. You can also make the Pumpkin Patch word book very simply by printing the words "Pumpkin Patch" at the top of you paper, separate into 3 columns by labeling them 2 letter, 3 letter & 4 letter (as in words you can make).

 Hope this helps somebody! I was amazed at the amount of stuff I found on the web for ours, so be sure to "shop" around;)
