Inspiring ideas and humble pumpkins

We never thought pumpkins could be so much fun until this year.
For the Harvest Festival Room 13 made pumpkin chips. We harvested some of the pumpkins from the Kitchen Gardens.

We cut the pumpkins up.

And we baked the pumpkin chips in the oven with oil and salt.
They were delicious!

Here is the table with beautiful plates of food made from the things we grew.

Here's another dish made from pumpkins. Pumpkin pie!
Most children really liked the pumpkin pie made by Room 14.
