Pumpkin Name Activity
We drive past the farm with a pumpkin patch every day to get to the park and every time Rea tells me about all the people we need to buy a pumpkin for. We are a little pumpkin obsessed over here, so a pumpkin activity is the perfect way to practice our name and get moving.
P.S. Movement name activities hold a special place in my heart because it is the very first activity I ever tried with Rea.
