It is too bad that pumpkins do not last forever! Your preschooler may be making great memories with your family\u2019s Halloween pumpkin. Though all good things must come to an end, there are still ways to enjoy your pumpkin\u2019s \u201cinsides\u201d just a little bit longer!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Below are four fun ways to repurpose your pumpkin\u2019s insides with your preschooler.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Read Pumpkin-Themed Books Together Before Carving a Pumpkin<\/span><\/h4>\n

Katie McKy has a fun book called, \u201c<\/span>Pumpkin Town (or Nothing is Better or Worse than Pumpkins)<\/span><\/i>.\u201d Your preschooler will enjoy seeing what a simple pumpkin seed can do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Play With the Pumpkin Seeds!<\/span><\/h4>\n

After reading a fun book together, your family can carve your own pumpkin. Be sure to save the pumpkin\u2019s insides for play time, though.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether your preschooler wants to wash the pumpkin seeds or not, have someone wash the seeds and save for an easy sensory bin. Add the washed seeds to any water bin, and let your preschooler play with the seeds. Better yet, throw in some random kitchen supplies so that your preschooler can scoop, measure, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bake, Bake, Bake With Your Preschooler!<\/span><\/h4>\n

The pumpkin seeds are quite nutritious; so take advantage of using them in different recipes. You and your preschooler can spend an afternoon baking these recipes together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The website, <\/span>Eating Well<\/span><\/a>, has a cinnamon and sugar pumpkins seed recipe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can also use the pumpkin\u2019s insides to make unique pumpkin bread. The website, <\/span>Eating Richly<\/span><\/a>, has a tasty recipe called, \u201cDiana\u2019s Famous Pumpkin Gut Bread.\u201d (You may have to scroll halfway down to see the recipe.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Craft Together!<\/span><\/h4>\n

Using leftover pumpkin seeds, your child can make a pumpkin seed collage. Feel free to use any other fall-based items, too. Indeed, much fall fun can be had two-times over. Your preschooler can enjoy the pumpkin and play with or eat the insides afterwards!<\/span><\/p>\n
