October photo contest- Best pumpkin carving

IT'S COOOOOOMING!!!!! OT-Kids, LLC. October contest is just around the corner. Get those cameras ready because we are having a good old fashioned photo contest!!! Pumpkin carving is a fantastic activity for old and young alike. Invite your little ones to help scoop out all of the seeds which will improve their upper body strength and bilateral coordination while feeding their proprioceptive and
 tactile systems with some fantastic heavy work. Older kids can use tools to help carve the pumpkin and refine those fine motor skills. Don't throw all those slimy/gooey insides away!!! Spread the pumpkins insides on the table or in a large container and let them go to town. Touching and exploring the pumpkins insides is a wonderful tactile experience for children of all ages. Make it even more fun by having your little ones try to pick out all of the seeds with their fingers or a pair of tweezers. They will love trying to grab those slimy slippery little seeds. Bake up the seeds with a dash of salt for a yummy snack. When you are done with all of this SENSATIONAL halloween fun take a picture of the finished product because OT-Kids, LLC. will be giving a prize for the best pumpkin carving!!!! You must "LIKE" our Facebook page to submit photos.  We would also love pictures of your little ones getting messy while carving or playing with their pumpkins!!!! Entries accepted until midnight October 31st. Winner will be announced during the first week of November.





Only photos submitted to our Facebook page will be considered.  Photo's sent to this blog will not be entered into the contest.
