Materials

  • Chalk or Heavy Tape
  • Mini pumpkins

Instructions

  • Place a line for each child from one end of the driveway to the other. We used orange duct tape, and you can also use chalk. The idea is to get a straight walking path from one side to the other. 
  • Next, line up your pumpkins and place a dropping bin on the other side. 
  • Show your child how to place the pumpkin on your head and how you carefully look straight and walk it across. Looking down causes the pumpkin to fall off. 

Notes

PRO TIP: Balancing may be a tricky task for kids. In that case, try playing together as a family. Sooner or later, everyone will join in the pumpkin activity!
