Not-So-Scary Monster Activities for Kids to Try this Halloween

Shared by Mary Catherine 1 Comment

Monster activities are always a hit when it comes to Halloween activities for preschoolers. And they’re so much fun! These monster projects are the perfect visual aid for all of those “scary” stories the students ask to hear around this time of year. And I know the kids will love using some of them to tell their own spooky tales!

Of course, I tend to aim for not-so-scary monster ideas . . . for me, just for the kids!

Fun Monster Activities for Kids Just in Time for Halloween

Below you’ll find over 10 monster activities the kids can get into this Halloween. They run the gamut from art, crafts, sensory play, and literacy.

I think many of them would be great inside the classroom, or as activities to do at home as a family.
