Hands on activities make math fun. I just created a few Halloween manipulatives for my kiddos and they were in love!
With my five year old we are practicing addition and subtraction up to 10.
There is a mommy spider on a web...We have ten mommy spiders, they are numbered from 1 to 10.
...and 120 baby spider chips, for all addition and subtraction facts up to 10.
Addition up to 10
Subtraction up to 10
The first step is to put the mommy spiders in numbered order on the bed, table or wherever you want.
The kids are challenged finding the mommy spider for 120 baby spiders.
The aim is to match the spider chips to the correct web. Firstly, pick up a card, read the equation and solve it before you place it on the matching web.
My four year old is also eager to learn. He is mastering the numbers up to 10, so I needed to make something engaging and funny for him too.
I crated these pumpkin ten frames after being inspired by tons of similar products all over Pinterest.

You can find my FREE Halloween Counting Play Dough Mats at the end of this post.
This is really an easy to follow activity.
To prep this game I printed out the cards on photo paper to make them sturdy. I thought the cards are ready to use. As soon as I printed these out, my little boy was ready to place his Play Dough balls on the cards. That was a huge mistake. The Play Dough balls stuck all over the cards. Luckily, the little guy didn't even noticed what happened, he was thrilled to be engaged.
Well, here is the outcome! What do you think? It is good to know, isn't it? I will laminate them next time, immediately after printing.
