Why I Like This Book:
I love this sweet story which follows a boy who faithfully tends a lonely pumpkin he finds on his grandparent's farm and which tells of the friendship which develops between himself and his new little neighbor. The book's tea-stained style illustrations are a beautiful complement to the text as well! :)
NOTE: Later this week, I plan to post about an art activity my daughter and I did together to go along with the story.
Snack Details:
Main pumpkin - cream cheese and brown sugar dip (colored orange) with Nutella details and fruit roll up vines sitting on a patch of peanut butter "soil" (peanut butter for dipping or just eating straight).
Muffin cups # 1 & 3: mandarin "pumpkins" with pretzel stems. I found the cute idea of using mandarins here: http://michellesjournalcorner.blogspot.com/2011/10/muffin-tin-monday_16.html
Muffin cup # 2: orange slice "pumpkin" with pretzel stem.
Details: Nutella wording and mini candy pumpkins.
