Halloween Sensory & Science

 We did our usual Halloween sensory tub for a fun experience for the kids along with some real pumpkin exploration.  I cut open the pumpkin and allowed the kids to get in and discover the insides of the pumpkin to the level they were comfortable.  Some kids can't wait to get in and squish, smell & play with the "slime".  Then there's always a few who are pretty horrified by that idea.  For those I used the genius idea I found on Pinterest to provide "gut bags" for exploration.  This is just a ziplock bag filled with pumpkin insides.  The kids can squish to their hearts content without getting messy.  ALL of the kids tried this out which made me very happy!  I love hands on learning!
