With Thanksgiving as our theme it was only natural to add some Pumpkin Pie to our Thanksgiving Lesson plan! Our Pumpkin Pie Recipe Activity was a hit!
This activity promotes reading, comprehension, and retention. I can see how my boys feel so accomplished when completing the recipes and ready for the next one! I used
🥧 Cinnamon Sticks
🥧 Oatmeal
🥧 Orange PomPoms as Pumpkins
I did spruce up the Pumpkin Harvest Basket!
They boys would complete the recipes, stir the oatmeal and pompoms around with the cinnamon sticks. They tasted and smelled the oatmeal and cinnamon sticks. We talked about measurements, pumpkins, and different pies! We did a similar Apple Pie Activity that was just as fun!
After Liam completed a few recipes, he enjoyed taking cup by cup of oatmeal out of the basket into the container of oatmeal and then pouring it back into the basket. I love seeing them continuing the activity with free play even when it’s done! Eric pretended the cinnamon stick was a straw, ”drinking” his pie recipe!
