Fall Literacy Center - Alphabet Pumpkins

These alphabet pumpkins from Anna over at The Imagination Tree are super colorful, offer a fun twist on traditional pumpkin decorating, and will provide your preschoolers with lots of great literacy practice! Not to mention, activity set-up is quite minimal; all you'll need is a pumpkin and adhesive foam letters/numbers, and you're set!

Once assembled, try one of the fun games Anna describes at her blog. We love that each promotes important early reading skills...

• Letter and numeral identification
• Letter sound identification and making letter sounds
• Letter and number discrimination
• Upper and lower case discrimination/matching
