Halloween Activities for Preschoolers

October is a long month, but with all the awesome Halloween activities for preschoolers, it flies by!  The Halloween activities on this list aren’t just cute activities; they are the ones that over many years of teaching preschool work perfectly in a classroom not just at a kitchen table one on one with a parent. Many of these activities are cute and more product-focused than I would normally use in my classroom but holidays are the exception, kids love creating things that help decorate their classroom space for the special day. It’s not all crafts on this list of Halloween activities for preschoolers, there is also sensory, fine motor, and even gross motor activities too.

Halloween Math For Preschoolers

This roll and cover game is as simple as it gets but the Halloween erasers make it totally rad for kids!

 

 

 

Personally, I LOVE candy corn but I know many people who think it’s good for nothing! Not true, it’s great for this Halloween math game! 

 

 

 

I love these little Frankensteins and so will your students, the best part is this Halloween math activity takes no time to set up!

 

 

 

 

Yes! These estimation jars are perfect for your math center at Halloween! Students LOVE it, and it’s a fun way of working the theme in at the same time as learning.

 

 

I have so many other great Halloween crafts and activities, but I felt these on this list are the ones that you MUST do and that work best with preschoolers attention span, skill set, and interest!
