Pumpkin Shape Sorter for Toddlers
Want to carve a pumpkin that your toddler will actually enjoy? Give this pumpkin shape sorter a try!
My daughter is at that fun age this Halloween, where she’s no longer a baby, but not quite a toddler yet either. (At least, not by my standards).
She’s not stoked on pumpkins like my preschooler is, but she’s interested in exploring everything we’re doing. In other words, carving pumpkins – not her idea of a good time.
Playing with pumpkin guts and the “lids” of the jack-o-lanters – hours of fun.
And I’m not kidding when I say that girl played with pumpkin guts off and on all day on our big carving day! After so long, I realized I needed to just make her a quick special pumpkin, just for her.

Pumpkin Shape Sorter for Toddlers
My daughter loved my funky shapes! Unfortunately, pumpkins don’t last terribly long after carving, so make sure you let your child get some good use out of it in those first few days!
