Do they need to bring their own pumpkins, etc? SMART provides all the mini-pumpkins, paint, brushes and other equipment. This is a messy activity, so volunteers should wear their old clothes so they don't mind a little spot of accidental paint. This activity is very popular. Last year for the pumpkin painting party in the garden, we had 43 people. This is a SMART Party, so volunteers will also read aloud with the children and parents, give away books, and teach about the nutritional value of squash and other vegetables. The party starts as parents arrive to pick up their children, we recommend parking in the lot at Moody Methodist Church and stepping over the curb. Look for Paula at the garden close to the main office at 5:00. Don’t go to the garden on Ave S.

We promote this to families with children under three years. We will advertise "Healthy Snacks." Volunteers will work on books from 1:30 to 2:30. The families will be invited from 2:30 to 3:30. We will begin inside the cafeteria with the families with healthy snacks, reading aloud, and giving every family three books to keep. Then we will go outside, weather permitting. to play on the Born Learning Trail sidewalk, plant a seed, and read more.
The United Way-Galveston has been creating "Born Learning Trails" around Galveston and one of these is right in front of Parker Elementary on the sidewalk. It is essentially a colorfully painted sidewalk with information for parents about movement ideas for the little ones. We thought it would be a good opportunity to use the resource and make parents aware of this feature.
