Hi ,
It's harvest time! I don't know about you but my kiddos love to see the colorful produce at the farm in fall. More than that, they enjoy peeking at all the harvest candy that starts to show up on the grocery store shelves. Today, I have a great way to put some of these fun fall treats to good use. In fact, this game is versatile and great for bridging the gap between counting and early addition skills. If pumpkin candy is not your thing,
you can use this set with the free printable pumpkins, or orange buttons, mini erasers....anything really that can serve as a counter.

| Print our free pumpkin counting mat on cardstock and laminate for durabiity. You could even place this inside a page protector and have students draw in the the pumpkins with a dry eraser. That would be a great way to work on fine motor skills while adding a creative element. Or print two
mats and turn this into a two player game. First player to fill their truck with 20 pumpkins is the winner.
