## About

Join the Five Little Pumpkins on a Halloween adventure at the Children's Museum of Discovery while exploring how to recognize and understand different feelings in ourselves and others. After the story-driven activity, children create their own Little Pumpkin puppet and give it an expression to match a feeling. It is a gentle, hands-on workshop that suits young children and their grown-ups, mixing a seasonal craft with simple social and emotional learning.
