The Great Pumpkin Experiment

Every year in Bunny class, we explore pumpkins as part of our experiences with plants God created for us.  Nobody really wants to put their hand in a pumpkin and pull out all the gooey seeds, so we just fill ours with dirt instead.

We dutifully watered our pumpkin with a spray bottle of water each day for a couple of weeks.  Then we took it outside and planted it in our garden where it did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  Not even a single sprout.  So sad.  This is the first year our great pumpkin experiment failed miserably, but you know what?  We got to have interesting conversations about the possible reasons our seeds didn't sprout.  And we also got a little reminder that in the mysteries of the world God gave us, sometimes things don't grow.
