It’s that time of year where pumpkins are everywhere! I love it! It is also a great time of year to teach little ones the life cycle of a pumpkin. To teach my preschooler and kindergartener about this, I created a little booklet. I’ll be sharing it with you today and sharing the free printable at the end of the post.
This booklet teaches children the process the pumpkin goes through to go from a small seed to a big pumpkin!
I created two versions of this booklet. The first is a full color version. For this booklet, you can cut out the pumpkin-shaped pages, staple it, and read the book together. I also created a black and white version, which is meant to be used as a coloring book. I printed the black & white version and my kids went to town coloring it! They loved it.
As they colored, we talked about the life cycle of the pumpkin.
And here’s a real-life photo…baby brother always wants to be with the big boys!
The booklet is 7 pages long, which includes an orange cover. I printed the cover on construction paper. You can also print a back page on construction paper if you want both sides to be orange. 🙂
I hope this printable will be useful to you!

I’ve never thought about the life cycle of a pumpkin before!

I finally able to print the pumpkin story. However, now it only prints in black and white. Don’t you before you put it out there for the public?
I’m sorry for the troubles. It should download for you. Email me at angela@teachingmama.org if you need more help.
Thank you! Love all your activities and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for having this My Pumpkin book available for free. My granddaughters will love making it when they come to visit us in October.
Thanks Again,
Alice R.
I love your posted free activities. But could not able to print it out.
I’m so sorry! Make sure you have Adobe Reader installed and it’s the most current version. That fixes 99% of printing problems.
Thank you! This is a wonderful booklet.
