Pumpkin on the Vine

See exactly how a pumpkin grows with this vine scene. A plump ribbed pumpkin rests on the ground, still attached to its curling vine, with large leaves and twisting tendrils spreading out around it and a short curved stem on top. The combination of a big simple pumpkin and loopy, curling vines makes this a fun page that teaches a little botany along the way. Pumpkins really do grow on long trailing vines that creep across the soil, and those spiraling tendrils help the plant grip and climb as it spreads. This page is great for older kids who enjoy following the swirling lines of the vine, while younger children can stick to the open pumpkin. Reach for greens of every shade on the leaves and tendrils. Print it on US Letter or A4 paper for a garden or science-themed activity.
