Jack-O-Lanterns in May? Yes! but of the paper kind :o) I posted that we planted our vegetable garden a couple weekends ago, but I still had some packets of pumpkin seeds that hadn’t made it outside yet. Then our 80 degree Portland weather took a turn for the worse. It’s been cold and rainy and I am pretty sure I saw hail the other day. I’m crossing my fingers that our poor little veggie plants pull through. So I decided that we would make starter seed cups for our pumpkins and let them grow indoors for the next 2-3 weeks. The Target dollar section had a package of seed cups that I snagged up on our last shopping trip. I thought to make this project a little more fun, we would decorate them as Jack-O-Lanterns in anticipation of our October pumpkin patch.

I love doing plojects (as my daughter calls them) with the kids. I wish I had more time to do them tho. Good luck with the pumpkins.
This is such a fabulous idea. Need to remember it when I plant pumpkin seeds with my kindergarten kids next year.

Nice kid friendly project! So glad that you shared. Thanks for helping make Things I've Done Thursday a success!
This is so cute! Then again, everything you do is cute!! I like the idea of doing something we typically think of as 'out of season' and making it in season.
I've got to get a hold of those cups…where did you get them? Please e-mail me or drop a note on my FB 🙂 Thanks for sharing again this week. you always come up with great ideas!!
Haha, I love the jack o lantern cups! And yay for starting them inside! It's such a great way to make the best of your growing season! Thanks for sharing at Teach Me Tuesday!!
I truly enjoy looking at on this internet site, it contains good articles.
What a creative way to start your pumpkin seeds! I love how you turned it into a fun shape recognition activity. It’s like giving the seeds a little Halloween preview in May. I’m curious, did your little ones get super excited about making the Jack-O-Lantern seed cups? And how are you planning to transition them outdoors once it warms up again? Can’t wait to hear if your pumpkins sprout into big, orange beauties!
