What color is a pumpkin? Orange, of course …or sometimes white. Did you know that pumpkins come in other colors, too? They can be tan, or red, or even blue. Unripe pumpkins are green and some are yellow, at least for a while, on their way to being fully ripe. That’s 7 different pumpkin colors! 2

3 The orange pumpkin ~ the most common color ~ should be placed in front of all the other pumpkins. Put the pumpkins in the correct order along the fence.

4 The blue pumpkin, grown in Australia, is exactly in the middle of the row of pumpkins on the fence. Put the pumpkins in the correct order along the fence.

5 The unripe colors, green and yellow are neither first nor last. The yellow one is located next to the first pumpkin and the green one is located next to the last pumpkin along the fence. Put the pumpkins in the correct order along the fence.

6 The tan pumpkin, commonly used for canning, can be found between the green and blue pumpkins. Put the pumpkins in the correct order along the fence.

7 The white pumpkin is really not so unusual. It can be found at the end of the row of pumpkins along the fence. Put the pumpkins in the correct order along the fence.

8 The red pumpkin, a very new pumpkin color is located immediately after the yellow one. Put the pumpkins in the correct order along the fence.
