Visiting the Pumpkin Patch
with your Toddler Don’t you just love fall and Halloween time? With the weather cooling down it is a great time to do family activities, and taking your toddler to the pumpkin patch is a family favorite.
Pumpkin Patches can be found all over the country, so there is sure to be one close by. The easiest way to find pumpkin patches in your area is to do an online search - type in your city with the words "pumpkin patch", or “Pumpkin Festival”. Also check out your local newspaper and monthly city guides. You will be surprised at the number of events you’ll find. Pumpkin Patches almost always sell pumpkins and have games and activities such as corn mazes, hay rides, and animal petting areas. Pumpkin Patches on actual farms often sell goods such as fruits, vegetables, and crafts- so be sure to bring some extra money. Some pumpkin patches are free - usually the ones that just sell pumpkins, but others have an entrance fee that you might want to check into before heading out. These pumpkin patches are more of the festival type with games and crafts as mentioned above. You will most definitely want to bring your camera to get some cute pictures of your little one and all the pumpkins. You will see lots of families taking pictures, and many times children are dressed in cute Halloween attire. Once you get there, have your toddler help you pick out the perfect pumpkin and then take it home and carve or decorate it as a family. Spending this time together and making memories is truly priceless. Make going to the pumpkin patch a family tradition that your children will remember in years to come!
