For this Halloween math game you will need:

20 wooden clip on clothespins
Halloween foam shapes
Black permanent marker
White crayon

I found these foam shapes at the dollar store, but I know that selections can vary by store. If you cannot find them there or at a craft store, you can try the link above in the supply list which offers something similar.

Write the numbers 1-10 on ten clothespins with a black permanent marker. On the remaining 10 clothespins make 1-10 dots. Write numbers 1-10 on your Halloween foam shapes. I used a black permanent marker on the lighter colored foam and a white crayon on the black foam pieces.

That's it for setup! See, I told you this was easy.

There are so many fun ways to play this Halloween math game. The very first thing my daughter did was organize the shapes so they would go from 1-10. When she finished that, she noticed that the shapes formed a pattern. Next, she wanted to to start clipping on clothes pins that had the same number. Her little fingers worked hard to squeeze open the clothespins. This was such a fun fine motor activity for her!

When she was done with the numbered clothespins, she went to work on the dot clothespins.

These were more challenging as the numbers got bigger, because she had to carefully count each dot to make sure she had the right one.

When she was done, we had each foam shape with a numbered and dotted clothespin on it. These are so many ways to play with the same basic supplies: putting the shapes in numbered order, pattern making, identifying even and odd numbers, putting on the more clothespins (5 clothespins on the shape with the number 5), just to name a few.

Fun kids activities don't always require lots of setup time. Even if you just have a few minutes, you can create a fun educational game for your child.
