FREE Pumpkin Life Cycle Spinner Craft | Printable for Kids
🎃 Watch a tiny seed grow into a big orange pumpkin, one spin at a time! 🌱
This free printable spinner craft is a hands-on way for little learners to explore the 5 stages of the pumpkin life cycle. Kids color the wheel, cut out the pumpkin and attach the two with a paper fastener. Then they turn the wheel to see each stage pop up in the pumpkin’s window: seed → sprout → vine → flower → pumpkin!
It’s the perfect companion to our sing-along video, “How Does a Pumpkin Grow?”, on the Conde Sprouts YouTube channel.
Watch, sing, then make your own spinner!
