Experiencing pumpkins with most of our senses!

The Adamah class enjoys a good sensory experience.  We've had the pumpkins in our sensory table for the past several days.  We've looked at them, drawn on them, touched them, and even washed them.  Today, however, when the children arrived in the classroom, they saw that some of them had been cut open to reveal the great mysteries inside!

Some of us really like to get our hands inside and scoop out the seeds and stringy goop. 

We cut a few more pumpkins open while the children watched, so that they could see for themselves what was under the lid.

The pumpkins definitely have a distinct look, smell, feel, and even sound (if you shake or tap them).  We haven't tasted them yet, but we're likely to do that soon!
