Left over Pumpkins? Take a hammer to it!

My children and student's LOVE this activity. It targets fine and gross motor skills and is great for children that need a little extra sensory input! Just grab a few golf tees and plastic hammers. It helps to make the holes first before letting the kids hammer away! Have fun!
