The Pumpkin Patch unit for the dramatic play center has been intentionally planned to provide students with the opportunity to play and pretend to be consumers while visiting the pumpkin patch. 

​

During the "Pumpkin Patch" dramatic play center, children will learn the characteristics of a farm and where food comes from. 

​

Some Texas Pre-k Guidelines covered in this unit are: 

VII.B.1. Child demonstrates that all people need food, clothing, and shelter

VII.B.2. Child demonstrates an understanding of what it means to be a consumer

VI.B.2. Cild describes the life cycle of organisms (pumpkins)
