Fingerplays help children learn language, rhymes, memory, social and fine motor skills. Five Little Pumpkins also helps teach counting and ordinal numbers.
At the art learning center, students created Five Little Pumpkins art. Children worked on counting five pumpkins with one-to-one correspondence, labeling the pumpkins with numerals in the correct order, and adding detail to their art, such as a moon and faces on their jack-o-lantern pumpkins.
