I drew a face with permanent marker. We then counted the days on the calendar to Halloween. Next, we counted the toothpicks and pushed the toothpicks into the pumpkin. (Because the pumpkin is very firm and requires hand strength, a younger child may need the adult to make the holes first.)

I love it! It counts down the days to Halloween, and it has a "punk rocker" appeal to it! Fun!
I am so stealing this - what a fab idea! My son has been asking when Halloween is too.
Such a creative solution to the constant asking - fun too!!
Brilliant idea! I plan to borrow it for I get the same question each day.
:)
I'm making this tomorrow!
What a great idea and fun countdown.
Sorry to ask a question on the wrong post but I know that you don't like to hunt for the comment.
For the smelling bottles when you used cocoa, did you use cocoa powder or actually make cocoa and put the liquid inside the bottle?
Oh, and my oldest is also asking about Halloween all the time. I might have to make this spiky pumpkin!
For the smelling bottles, I used cocoa powder (the kind used for baking).
Great idea! Looks cool too.
Hi Amy!
I left you this message on your Flicker. I am not sure if you saw it, so I hope this would be alright if I re-post it here:
I have just found the pictures of your Nature Table! Thank you so much for being thoughtful enough to upload them!
May I ask when did you start presenting the Nature Table?
My son is 25 months old. I've been hesitating for a while if we can start with this project. He is yet not verbal, so I hesitate if it might cause him a bit of confusion. Also, I am almost positive that he might want to touch and play with the items presented. So I was thinking that maybe we need to wait for a little while, and use a Nature Basket for now.
Thanks,
Miri
