cut around the inside and then scoop out the seeds.

How about some homemade Pumpkin play dough? I have heard about homemade play dough but never thought of a pumpkin scented one.
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 tbsp. cream of tartar
2 cups pumpkin puree
2 tsp. cinnamon spice
blend/pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 cups boiling water
8-10 drops red food coloring
5-7 of yellow food coloring.
Add all ingredients together in a bowl except the water until well combined. Then add water in batches until it forms a ball. Let cool and then take it out of bowl and knead, adding small amounts of flour until it is no longer sticky, and is smooth. For more information, please see:
Or maybe you would enjoy a trip to a Pumpkin Patch?
When our 2 of grandsons were younger, we took them to our local Pumpkin Patch Farm. We went on sunny days of fall and enjoyed Pumpkin Ice Cream, and took a hayride and enjoyed the other activities of the day. There was a petting zoo and scarecrow making. Families picked out their own pumpkins what were everywhere. And of course, they had/have their own farmers market store where we could buy many country type products, as well. They were fun activities that I will always remember and cherish the fun times that we had with the boys. If you have never been to a Pumpkin Patch, or never gotten to try it I encourage you to do it this fall season. out. You will really enjoy not only the activities there especially if you have kids to take, but just getting out in the fall scenery (that is if you have a real type fall season where you live) that God has blessed us with.
You have made him the ruler of the works of your hands. You have placed everything under his feet. All of the sheep and oxen, and even the beast of the field. The birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord how majestic is your name in all the earth. Psalm 8:6-8.
Indeed, God has given us this majestic world to enjoy. And better than that he is majestic as is his name. So if you get to go to a Pumpkin Patch or not, just enjoy this season and all its beauty while it lasts this year. And all above all, give thanks to our Lord that created it for us!
Thanks for spending some time on my blog today Friends. Have a wonderfully blessed fall day!
