Welcome to my store and thanks for stopping by! I've been teaching in out-of-school settings for over 15 years. From helping children understand wriggling pythons as a zoo education officer (dream job!), to using historical objects as keys to unlock our past, my teaching experience has been far from typical. I'm currently a schools manager for a museum and art gallery, working with hundreds of children of all ages each year.

Can be used to introduce the life cycle, or as a review/assessment to check understanding. Encourages fine motor/scissor skills, hand-eye coordination (folding), and sequencing. Differentiated options allow for multiple age ranges or abilities to do the same activity. Finished foldouts can be inserted into an interactive notebook where they can be referenced by children. The templates There are 4 template options to choose from: Colour the pumpkin life cycle stages, match the words to the pictures, cut out, glue and fold. Colour the pumpkin life cycle stages, cut out the stages and sequence them, glue and fold. As above but with a straight cutting edge. Colour the life cycle stages and pumpkin halves, sequence the stages, glue, and fold. There are 2 label options for this - one has pictures with words, the other with short descriptions. What you need You’ll need coloured pencils, scissors and glue. You may find it useful to have a pre-made example for children who might require more of a visual cue for the folding.
