Why Kids Love This Pumpkin Patch

The farmer wears a headband, a plaid shirt with rolled sleeves, overalls and rubber boots and is lifting a pumpkin into her big woven basket. Pumpkins of all sizes grow around her, with leaves and curly tendrils in between. A dog sits nearby, a cat peeks out of the patch, and two chickens and a sheep join in. A barn, a silo, a fence and a tree fill the background – a rich, cozy fall scene.

All About Pumpkins

Pumpkins grow on long vines that hold on with curly tendrils and creep across the ground. They have huge leaves and yellow flowers, which later turn into the fruit. They’re harvested in fall, when the skin is hard and the stem starts to dry. Pumpkins originally come from the Americas. They keep for a long time, taste great in soup, and their seeds can be roasted for a crunchy snack.

Ideas for Your Finished Fall Picture

Hang it up for a harvest festival or Thanksgiving, or give it away as a fall greeting. You can also glue real pumpkin seeds onto the little pumpkins or frame the page with leaves from a nature walk.
