Learn how to clean the goop out of a pumpkin Turnaround the idea of pumpkins just for Halloween. Pumpkins celebrate Harvest time - a gift from God. Use traditional Christian symbols - the cross, the fish, and the butterfly to decorate your pumpkin. I recommend parental guidance for all pumpkin carving or etching and the cleaning process. And this is a good thing as it becomes a family project. Tidbits: Master pumpkin Growers in October 2011 issue of Smithsonian magazine show a pumpkin weighing 1600+ lbs. The pumpkin grower wrapped it with wet paper towels and cellophane to keep it from drying out. Also taped a bag of water over the fresh-cut stem. Seems like all giant pumpkins lay on their sides! If your whole class stood together, would you all weigh that much? |
