At Acorn Monday School, the day was full of pumpkin magic and buttery delights! The little ones dove into a pumpkin seed counting adventure—each tiny seed was a treasure to discover and count. The kids turned fresh cream into golden, silky butter, shaking jars with all their might, their faces lighting up as the soft cream transformed before their eyes.
