P is for a Pumpkin Patch

During circle time we read about "patty's pumpkin patch" - perfect for P week, right!  We talked about how pumpkins grow on a vine instead of a tree or a bush.  We passed a ball of yarn around our circle making a pumpkin vine. 

During center time I had this sticky wall set up.  (I took the picture before I cut the yarn - but the other basket had cut pieces of yarn in it)

But the contact paper was not sticky enough to hold the weight of the orange pom poms.  The kids were frustrated... not always a bad thing though.  I left it that way for a while - letting them try to figure out how to get them to stay.  After a while one child came up with the idea to move the contact paper to the floor.  Problem solved!
