Materials Needed for Halloween Playdough Activities
To get started with this festive play, you'll need a few materials. Here's what you'll need:

Vampire Symmetry
Can you finish this vampire’s face?
Start by building your vampire face, but only make half. Then leave it up to your little monsters to practice their symmetry skills and complete the rest of the face.
You can try this fun activity out with other spooky characters too.
Spider Dough
This is such a fun yet simple invitation to create!
Simply roll a ball, squash it flat, add eyes and legs. The more eyes the better!
Extend this activity into counting the number of legs and eyes on the spiders you've made.

Dough Ghosts
These ghosts are so simple to create, the whole family can help.
Roll playdough into flat round pieces. Lay the flat "sheet" playdough over the ball to create the ghost body. Add 2 googly eyes.
How many different coloured ghosts can you create? Do they have names?

Frankenstein
Create your very own Frankenstein!
Make larger playdough "bodies." Then use the nuts or washers as eyes and some bolts as arms and legs!
This is a great playdough activity for those tool crazy kiddos!

Spider Web Counting
This is a great one for practicing counting skills.
To make the spiderwebs simply roll out long snakes of white playdough and arrange into a web shape. Roll the playdough into a snake and shape it into a number in the centre of each web.
Can your little monster match the number of spiders to the number in the middle of the web?
