Students will cut and paste pumpkin craft pieces made from different 2D shapes (Square, Hexagon ,Octagon ,Circle ,Trapezoid ,heart ,Triangle ) to build their own pumpkin character. After assembling their pumpkins, students will complete a Math & Observation worksheet to identify, count, and describe the shapes they used.

This activity helps build geometry skills, fine motor skills, math vocabulary, and early writing skills — making it an excellent choice for math centers, fall stations, or a Halloween craft project.
