Halloween Googly Eyes Math Game

  • Using a sharpie marker write numbers 1-10 on clothespins

  • Grab 10 jumbo craft sticks

  • Add Googly Eyes to each stick (1-10)

  • I recommend using sticky backed googly eyes-you can get them HERE

  • You can also simply glue the googly eyes onto the sticks-but they may not stick for as long 

  • Set out materials

  • Invite your child to play!

  • This works well as a independent play activity-place items in a tray and leave out for your child to access and use on their own

  • This also works excellent as a math center in a preschool or Homeschool classroom

  • Invite child to pick a craft stick

  • Count the googly eyes

  • Ask child to find the clothespins with the correct corresponding number written on it

  • Set to the side a pick a new googly eyed craft stick
