- Seed. First comes the seed. Plant a pumpkin seed in the ground and watch it grow!
- Sprout. Once the seed grows and grows it will change into a small sprout that will grow into a vine!
- Vine. Instead of growing tall, a pumpkin plant grows out! The vine will grow until it produces flower buds.
- Flower. When the vine is big enough it will bud and blossom into big yellow flowers! These will fall off and create little tiny pumpkin starts.
- Green Pumpkin. Before a pumpkin becomes orange, it starts off as green! When it ripens it turns orange.
- Fruit. When a pumpkin is ripe it will be big and usually orange. Once it’s ripe it’s ready to be picked and turned into pie, jack-o-lanterns and other fall decorations and foods!
