Pumpkins are smashed, and the aftermath is here! Now, what do I do?
Smashing pumpkins sounds fun, but the composting part may scare you!
Composting is not so spooky!
It’s actually a lot easier then you think, and the alternative?
Dumping the pumpkin in your trash bin, and adding more food waste to our landfills, encouraging more toxins into our air, ground, water — is wayyyspookier!

Learning to compost at an early age creates a better chance that children will continue to do so as adults. Children who learn to conserve nature and help to reduce waste as part of their education are more likely to continue to make sustainable choices independently.

A composting jar activity is a fun and cool experiment for kids to learn about compost and watch it in action. Kids love to watch and will learn first-hand that composting is very cool! A healthy compost has four elements: Nitrogen, Carbon, Water and Air.

Today I watched Nature Cat on PBS Kids TV and I learned about pumpkins and lady bugs. Lady bugs spray bad smellinggas to predators away and not eat them.
Pumpkns can decompose and turn back into soil.
And also I learned there are alot of things you can do with pumpkins. You can make a pumpkin pie or muffins. You can also fry the seeds in a pan with oil and eat them. You can also use the seeds to plant more pumpkins.
I like Nature Cat becuse you learn a lot about nature.

Hi I am a Helping Ninja and we had a Helping Ninja Party to celebrate National America Recycles Day. I learned about recycling and composting. Composting is kind of cool. There was an experiment. One jar is a compost, the other will be like a landfill. I can’t wait to watch and see what it does. I am glad I came to the party because I didn’t know about this ever before.
