Grow a Pumpkin in a Pumpkin + Pumpkin Life Cycle Printables

Did you know you can Grow a Pumpkin in a Pumpkin? Learn about the pumpkin life cycle with these printables while growing you own yummy pumpkin.

I bought a couple of mini pumpkins from Coles as I thought they were cute. They were really much bigger than a grapefruit. I put them in the fruit bowl and forgot about them until quite a few weeks later. They were getting soft and one was ready to be thrown out, so I thought about what we could do with the one that was okay.

We decided to see if we could grow a pumpkin in a pumpkin.

I cut a small square out of the top of the pumpkin and added some soil and a little water.

A week later, we had a little sprout!

Pumpkin 2

After about two weeks, we still only had the one little sprout.

Pumpkin 4

By this stage the pumpkin was starting to rot and get a little smelly, so we decided to plant the pumpkin in the garden.

Maybe, by using a proper sized pumpkin, you would get more sprouts. We will have to try that some day soon!

To add to this, we learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin. Below you will find some great pumpkin life cycle cards and notebooking pages printables.

    What a neat idea! And I love the idea of just planting it outside, so the pumpkin container can just finish rotting away. Good fertilizer!
