Pumpkin Printables

And there’s plenty of learning happening along the way! As kids study the pictures and draw lines to connect their answers, they’ll work on visual discrimination, counting, hand-eye coordination, and pencil control. Some of those pumpkins look pretty similar, so they’ll have to pay attention to the little details!

With four different worksheets to choose from, you can use them together or spread them out throughout your fall lessons. They’d also be a cute activity to pair with a trip to the pumpkin patch!

Match The Pumpkin Colors

Those happy little pumpkins are sitting in piles of colorful leaves, but their matching leaves are all mixed up! Kids will look at the leaves underneath each pumpkin and draw a line to the matching pile on the other side. They’ll get to practice recognizing colors like yellow, green, orange, and red while working on their pencil control. It’s a good reminder to look at the colors instead of just picking the closest picture!

Match The Number With The Pumpkins

How many pumpkins can you count? On this page, kids will look at each group of pumpkins, count them carefully, and draw a line to the correct number. There are groups of two through six pumpkins, so they’ll get practice counting different amounts. Those little pumpkins are lined up so nicely, but kids will still need to make sure they don’t skip one or count it twice!

Pumpkin Shadow Matching

Oh no, these pumpkins have lost their shadows! Kids will help them find the right ones by looking closely at each pumpkin’s shape and matching it to the black silhouette on the other side. Some are tall and skinny, while others are short and round. The colors won’t help them on this one, so they’ll have to pay attention to the outlines. It’s a fun little challenge for practicing observation skills!

Pumpkin Picture Matching

These pumpkins have matching friends on the other side of the page, but they’re not in the same order! Kids will need to study each pumpkin’s color, shape, and stem before deciding which one matches. Some have orange bodies, while others are pink or yellow, so they’ll have plenty of clues to look for. As they connect the pairs, they’ll also get some practice drawing lines across the page without getting mixed up.

Harvest Crafts

Fork Painted Scarecrow Craft – Who says forks are only for eating? Kids can use one to stamp paint onto paper and make the scarecrow’s straw hair and arms! Once the paint dries, they’ll add the scarecrow’s face, hat, and overalls. I love how the fork painting makes the straw look textured, and kids can have a good time choosing colors and decorating their scarecrow’s clothes.

Pumpkin Shape Craft – Those ovals, circles, and rectangles might not look like a pumpkin at first, but just wait until kids start putting them together! They’ll use the shapes to build a smiling pumpkin with rosy cheeks, a stem, and a curly vine. It’s a nice follow-up to the matching worksheets because kids can practice recognizing shapes while making something cute for fall.

Apple Basket Craft – A basket full of smiling apples? Yes, please! Kids will make their own red, green, or yellow apples and tuck them into a paper basket. Each apple has its own little face, which makes this craft especially cute. You could even have kids count the apples in their baskets when they’re done for a little extra math practice!

Acorn Torn Paper Craft – Put the scissors aside for a bit because this acorn gets its color from torn pieces of paper! Kids will rip different shades of brown paper into smaller pieces and glue them onto the acorn. Then they’ll add its silly little face. Tearing paper is such a simple activity, but it gives those small hand muscles a good workout. And the best part is that no two acorns will look exactly alike!

Fall Fine Motor Activities

There’s something so satisfying about filling in all those little circles with dot markers! Our fall leaves dot marker worksheets let kids search for the letter L, practice counting, and make colorful leaf pictures. They can use red, orange, yellow, and brown markers to give their pages some pretty fall colors. And all that dotting gives them extra practice controlling their hand movements, too!

Can kids figure out which fall picture comes next? These fall pattern worksheets have rows of apples, leaves, and other autumn pictures for children to study. Once they figure out the pattern, they’ll cut out the missing picture and glue it into place. It’s a nice way to get kids thinking while also giving them some scissor and gluing practice.

It’s always nice to have a reason to get those scissors out, especially when kids are just learning how to use them! These pumpkin cutting worksheets are another fall-themed option for practicing scissor control. Kids can concentrate on their cutting while enjoying a pumpkin activity that fits right in with a harvest unit.

Apples aren’t just for eating! With our apple tracing worksheets, kids can practice following lines, tracing apple shapes, and working on the letter A. Some paths are easier than others, so they’ll have to slow down and pay attention as they move their pencils. You could even let them color their apples red, green, or yellow when they’re finished!
