Pumpkin pie paint makes a great sensory craft for children!

Add a little fall fragrance to art time with this Pumpkin Spice Painting Activity! Children use paint mixed with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice to color the pumpkin pie and pumpkins while enjoying the familiar scents of fall.

The “Little Pumpkin” poem follows a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch to a pumpkin pie and ends with a Thanksgiving reminder to thank God for His blessings. The combination of painting, seasonal scents, and poetry makes this a memorable fall sensory activity for preschool, Sunday school, homeschool, or classroom use. This is a great Christian alternative craft for the Five Little Pumpkins Poem.

Little Pumpkin Thanksgiving Poem

Written by Carolyn Warvel

I’m just a little pumpkin sitting in the hay,
Waiting to be picked for a very special day.
Take me home and cook me,
And you’ll see what I can be.
If you add a little sugar and just the right spice,
I’ll turn into something that tastes quite nice!
But don’t forget to be thankful on this special day
Remember what God gave you when you sit
down and pray.

Supplies needed: Ginger, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, or Pumpkin Pie Spice,

Orange Paint, Paper, and Colored Pencils

Practice Table Manners Activity Sheet

Manners Matter - Children learn about dinner etiquette

Help children put good manners into practice with a pretend Thanksgiving dinner! Use this activity sheet with the “Manners Matter” Bible lesson to discuss how table manners show love and consideration for others.

Begin by reviewing the table-setting diagram at the top of the sheet. Give each child a paper plate, napkin, fork, spoon, knife, and cup. Have them arrange their place settings using the diagram as a guide.

Next, set out some treats and practice passing them around the table. Encourage children to take a fair share, say “thank you,” and pass the food to the next person. Explain that they should wait until everyone has been served and the blessing has been said before eating. Model placing your napkin on your lap, and invite the children to follow your example.

During your pretend meal, praise considerate behavior and gently remind children of the manners you discussed. Explain that correcting someone else’s manners at the dinner table can embarrass them.

Extend the activity by practicing how to welcome and introduce guests, wash hands before eating, ask politely for food to be passed, and listen without interrupting. Encourage children to use these manners at their next family meal!
