Sight Word Pumpkin SMASH!

Get ready for some messy fun... and learn, too!  Print this pumpkin template, laminate, cut out, and write sight words or whatever it is your kiddo is working on now.  "Borrow" your hubby's shaving cream (sorry, honey!) and put dobs of shaving cream on your table and place the pumpkins, every-so-lightly, on the dobs. 

Oh, and make sure you are in an area of your house that can easily be cleaned... i.e. not on your carpet!

Ready?!?  Call out a word on one of the pumpkins and when your child finds it, have your him/her SMASH it!  The more shaving cream you use, the messier (and more fun) it will be.  We did this a couple of times and shaving cream has been added to our grocery list!   

Reviewing the words first...

SMASH!
