Kids Activities

A carved and decaying jack-o-lantern pumpkin sits on a plate, with a drawn depiction of a ghost-like figure next to it. The orange pumpkin has a grimacing facial expression carved into it, with a gaping mouth and triangular eyes and nose. The pumpkin's flesh is starting to rot and decay, showcasing the natural decomposition process. Next to the pumpkin is a handwritten diagram on paper, illustrating a simple ghost figure with a circular head and drooping eyes. The text on the paper reads 'What happens to a rotting pumpkin?' and provides instructions on observing the changes in the pumpkin over time, likely intended as a science activity for children.

Observing a Rotting Pumpkin

As Jack-o-lantern gets older, kids can study the changes for an easy porch-side science activity. Search "WHAT HAPPENS TO A ROTTING PUMPKIN" on our blog to find the directions.
