Halloween Tradition Idea - The Magic Pumpkin Patch

This tradition is sure to spark the magic of Halloween for your kids. Tell the children that this year you have found some magic seeds to grow pumpkins. Gather your kids together and give each child 3-5 pieces of candy corn, the “magic pumpkin seeds.” Have them bury each piece of candy in the front or backyard and place a toothpick marker for where they buried their seeds. While they are sleeping place a small pumpkin, which you purchased at the grocery store, one each place they planted a seed. Watch as in the morning they are amazed by the beautiful pumpkins their magic seeds have grown into. Take a picture of each child with their favorite pumpkin in the patch and put it into your holiday tradition Book.
