A Pumpkin!

First I'm just a small seed,
  [children hold up thumb and index finger]
Then, a vine with leaves.
Out from orange flowers
I grow -- small and green.

So I keep on growing,
Bigger, bigger, FAT!
  [children spread arms out]
A round orange pumpkin,
  [children use index finger to make circle shape in the air]
What do you think of that?
  [children raise voices]
