9. Pumpkin Seed Art
Recycling pumpkin leftovers into crafts
Instead of tossing out pumpkin seeds after carving, use them for a fun and educational art activity.
Materials Needed:
- Clean, dry pumpkin seeds
- Food coloring (optional)
- Glue
- Paper or cardboard
- Paint or crayons
Instructions:
- Color the pumpkin seeds by mixing them with food coloring and letting them dry.
- Draw simple fall outlines (like pumpkins, leaves, or turkeys) on paper.
- Have your toddler glue seeds inside the outlines to create a textured design.
Why it’s great:
This eco-friendly activity teaches toddlers about recycling and texture. Plus, it’s a great sensory craft that blends touch and sight.
