I made a pumpkin activity to work on early math skills as well as fine motor development. I printed out the pattern on cardstock paper. If you are not going to be using glue with this activity I recommend laminating the pumpkin mats for durability.
The patterns come in both black and white as well as color and also with or without dots. The color patterns come with a blue sky or just a white background so you have a variety of patterns to work with to suit the needs of how you will be doing the activities.
Besides the pumpkin mat you will need to have pumpkin seeds and dice for the children to roll. We also use school glue that we put in a small container with q-tips. I also do the activity with no glue so the mat is re-usable.
In this activity children roll the dice and put a pumpkin seed on the same number of dots on the mat. Play continues until all dots have been covered. We also work in pairs with each child having their own mat ... dice ... and pumpkin seeds. They take turns rolling the dice and covering the dots on the mat.
Children can also do a pumpkin craft by simply gluing the seeds on the pumpkin. This can be done with or without dots. The children can color in the black and white pattern first before gluing the seeds on. You can see a video of this activity and download the patterns below.
Two winners have been chosen in the Pop Its giveaway. Congratulations to them both!! This was my very first giveaway and for those of you who entered and did not win I will be doing more in the future so keep a lookout for them.
The free membership printable this week is Pop Its Letters and Number. The cards are meant to be used with Pop Its fidget toys and are great for letter and number recognition as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and cut them out. I then laminated them for durability.
I used a sharpie permanent marker to write letters and numbers on the Pop Its fidget toys. I also have Pop Its that already have the letters and numbers written on them that I purchased from amazon.
In this activity children pick a letter or number card and "pop" the same letter or number on the Pop Its. I am giving away one set of the letter and number Pop Its so be sure to watch the video on how you can enter to win them. 
You can grab the patterns below the video of this activity for free until Sunday October 17th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Pop Its Sight Word Cards.

Fidget toys such as spinners and cubes have been around for a few years and have proven to be very popular. They were originally designed to provide tactile and sensory experiences to help children calm and focus. Many adults use them as well.
Pop Its are another kind of fidget toy that has become very popular. They are made out of 100% flexible silicone and are non toxic . The Pop Its consist of bubbles that children press down which makes a popping sound.

Pop Its are excellent for fine motor activities. We do both simple popping which is just pressing the bubbles with one finger. We then more on to more complex popping using two fingers and alternating the fingers when popping. We also hold the Pop Its and press the bubbles down with our thumbs on the front and then pressing the bubbles back up with the fingers that are behind.
One of our favorite activities besides popping is to have the children squeeze a dropper in a small container of water and fill the pressed in bubbles to the top. They then remove the water from the bubbles with the dropper and put the water back in the water container.
We also place small pom poms and marbles in the pressed in bubbles using jumbo tweezers and clothespins and then remove the items using fingers.
