🎃 The Great Pumpkin Seed Roast
When pumpkin season rolls around, we love showing kids how even the scraps of a harvest can become something nourishing and delicious. 🌾
This hands-on lesson transforms scooping, rinsing, and roasting pumpkin seeds into a full learning experience — exploring science, math, nutrition, and history all in one cozy fall activity. Kids discover why seeds float, how moisture turns to steam, what roasting does on a molecular level, and how these humble seeds once traveled the world.
With flavor experiments, fine-motor skills, and farm-to-table reflection, this post invites families to keep the pumpkin fun going at home — roasting, recording, tasting, and learning together. 🧡
