Wash seeds and remove pulp. Then scatter them on a baking sheet. Set in direct sunlight to dry.
To dye seeds mix 1 cup water, 1 Tb white vinegar, and a few drops of food coloring in a bowl. Soak until they've reached desired color. Remove from dye with fork and let them dry on wax paper in direct sunlight.
Make a collage by gluing dyed seeds to poster board or cardstock. Have them sketch their design in pencil or use a blank coloring book page as a guide.
Draw various letter shapes on thin cardboard (use the plain side of a cereal box). Cut them out and have the kids glue pumpkin seeds on them. Glue a magnetic strip to the backs and hang on the refrigerator.
Using regular cdraft glue, decorate a 1" wide ribbon to make a seed bracelet with children. Cut to childs wrist size and create a clasp with self-adhesive velcro
