Pumpkin Life Cycle Story Wheel
This printable story wheel is just in time for Fall. As pumpkins are quite synonymous with the season, we love to explore them in real life with pumpkin painting and in pumpkin crafting and creating.
The cool part about this story wheel is that it’s moveable and allows your little one to use their hands, eyes, and mind to put together how a pumpkin starts and finishes its life cycle. Such a fun science or STEM project to do with kids at home.
Ask your child before they explore the wheel if they have any predictions about how the pumpkin life cycle might go! It’s always fun to hear what they think.
