Halloween Invitation to Play

We have been having lots of spooky fun preparing for Halloween. With just over a month to go, today we are sharing a Halloween Invitation to Play that captured our imaginations. This is a Halloween sensory play idea similar to the Halloween Gak we made in that kids get to dig in with both hands and explore. If you are looking for an activity that will require less clean up, then these Soda Bottle Pumpkins may be just thing.

If you would like to purchase the supplies we used for this activity, affiliate links are provided at the end of the post.

You will need:

• Shaving cream
• Halloween toys
• Plastic Cups
• Spoon
• Popsicle sticks
• Googly eyes
• Tray
• Plastic shoe bin

What I love about this Invitation to Play is that you can really use Halloween items that you already have at home. If you don't have a lot of them, head on over to the dollar store where they have a large selection.

Fill up a plastic bin with shaving cream and provide your child with the toys and supplies. 

When my kids saw the googly eyes, they immediately decided to make some ghosts with them. The shaving cream worked perfectly for this. 

My daughter discovered that she could use the shaving cream like glue and stick her spooky toys to the bin. 

Hand ghost!

I found these cute flags in my cupcake decorating bin and I thought they would add some spooky fun to our Halloween sensory play.

It was great seeing what the kids came up with when I simply provided them with some fun supplies. This Halloween sensory play was simple to set up and kept the kids engaged.

We hope you enjoy this Halloween activity with your kids. I recommend keeping a bowl of water and a towel nearby so kids can clean up their hands when they need to.

Please supervise you child during all activities. All activities are not suitable for all children.
