Preschool pumpkin fun facts

When coloring with kids, I *love* engaging in conversations with fun facts! ·  Pumpkins are fruits! Even though we think of them as vegetables, pumpkins are technically a type of fruit because they have seeds inside.

  • The biggest pumpkin ever: The largest pumpkin ever grown weighed over 2,600 pounds—about as heavy as a small car.

  • Bumblebees love pumpkins: Bumblebees help pollinate pumpkins, which means they help the pumpkin plants grow.

  • Pumpkins come in lots of colors: Besides orange, pumpkins can also be white, yellow, green, and even blue.

  • Pumpkins can float: Just like boats, pumpkins can float in water because they’re mostly made of water themselves—about 90%.

  • Pumpkins have lots of cousins: Pumpkins are part of the gourd family, which means they are related to cucumbers, squash, and even watermelon.

  • Pumpkin carving started in Ireland: People used to carve faces into turnips, but when they came to America, they found pumpkins were easier to carve.

  • Pumpkins can grow in all 50 states: Every state in the U.S. grows pumpkins, including Alaska and Hawaii.

  • Pumpkins are good for you: Pumpkins are full of vitamins, especially vitamin A, which is good for your eyes.

Why the pumpkin giant coloring poster is perfect for groups

The pumpkin giant coloring banner isn’t just about coloring—it’s about creating connections.

Kids love to work together, and this poster encourages teamwork as they color in the festive pumpkins.

We also love, love, love when we get messages and emails showing the whole family coloring together.

There’s something super warm and fuzzy about an activity the span of toddlers to grandparents can enjoy together.

Pumpkin giant coloring banner for learning and development

Did you know that coloring isn’t just a fun pastime, it’s also a learning tool?

The pumpkin giant coloring poster helps kids practice their hand-eye coordination, develop creativity, and even enhance their problem-solving skills.

As children color their pumpkin banner, they are improving their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Holding crayons or markers and working on a large space allows them to practice control and precision.

This is especially valuable for preschoolers, as it lays the foundation for writing and other tasks that require hand dexterity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the poster?

The poster is 10 feet long.

How many kids can color at once?

Several! It’s big enough for group activities. Additionally, kids can color from both sides as the art faces both directions (making it perfect for kids coloring and sitting across from one another).

Where can I get a pumpkin coloring poster?

You can get it from our shop!
