Storytelling- Jack O'Lantern- the story behind the pumpkin!
During autumn many people around the world celebrate Halloween in many different ways, the most common being carving pumpkins.
This old folk tale from Ireland tells one of the oldest tales about why we carry lanterns on the night of halloween.
Although not necessarily a nature story this old folk tale has lasted the test of time and surely will continue to be told well into the future.
Follwoing this story consider trying these activities:
Head out as a family, choose a pumpkin and carve your own design.
Head out on Halloween to join the Halloween fun. We play 'treat for treat' and take a big tub of treats to share with our neighbours.
