SPIDER DOTS
This Halloween idea is pretty brilliant. You can tape this activity on the table or to the wall for vertical space. When games like this are hung on the wall, preschoolers use their upper arm strength to help with climbing, throwing, and catching. Technically, this is improving gross motor skills.
HALLOWEEN MESSY SENSORY PLAY
After a lot of exploration with the shaving cream and eyeballs, my preschooler decided to add some water. Now, the creamy substance turned into a liquid, which was a great way to explore capacity. For the next 30 minutes, he scooped and poured his heart out as I watched from the sidelines.
SPOOKY BONE PAINTING

SPOOKY HALLOWEEN TRACK
Our Halloween decorations exploded all over the floor, and we had a giant cardboard box. Why not put the two together for a spooky Halloween track? It was quick. It was easy to make. And it inspired the imaginary play that we all craved.
Halloween Frozen Water Play
You can make mini eraser pods NOW. It’s true! And even if you don’t have the mini erasers, you can still make these using something you already own. Have a collection of spider rings? Use those! Plastic eyes? Boom. Also works great.
HALLOWEEN WATER PLAY
My four-year-old and I were reading Room on the Broom when it dawned on me. We have everything we need for a witch’s potion from our stash of decorations. It was Halloween water play that saved our afternoon, and we must share it with you!
HALLOWEEN PAINT BY NUMBER
If you enjoy Room on the Broom, you are going to adore this paint by number! As my preschooler paints, his little hands are getting stronger. This is key for pencil grip and forming numbers and letters down the road. I want to offer many opportunities to use his hands through play before asking him to write.
HALLOWEEN COLOR BY NUMBER
A Halloween color by number? Yes, please! Toddler and preschool activities do not require many supplies! Here, we created a Halloween color by number using paper and a fresh pack of markers.
STEM HALLOWEEN
Who said Halloween activities need to be all carving pumpkins and Spider Webs? We enjoy that too, but Halloween Pumpkin Kerplunk is a unique idea to add a little STEM to your day.
