The correct order of the life cycle of pumpkins is as follows:

• Pumpkin seeds
• Sprout
• Vine
• Pumpkin flowers
• Green pumpkin
• Orange pumpkin

The next 4 pages are for the children to remember the right order the pumpkin life cycle goes.

The first page has the image with just the words that need to be added as can be seen below.

The next page is much harder, the children have to color in the life cycle and the arrows on the blank worksheet.

Then they need to add the correct image with the correct word, in the correct position.

The completed pumpkin life cycle coloring page looks pretty impressive, and the children will be so proud of themselves for completing it.
