Cut off the top of a pumpkin and let your little one look inside. Ask, “How many seeds do you think are inside the pumpkin?” Write down their guess. Scoop out the seeds. What do the seeds feel like? Are the seeds hard or soft? Are they slimy, and squishy? Use lots of words to describe the sensation and textures. Wash the seeds and dry them with paper towels. Spread the seeds out on the table. Are all of the seeds the same size? Count the seeds. How many are there? Write down the number. Compare it to the number they guessed.
