Here's a Halloween, math activity: have your preschooler or pre-kindergartener carve shapes into a Jack-O-Lantern face and boost her shape recognition skills.

Get into the Halloween spirit by creating creepy (but cute) spiders from paper egg cartons, paint, and pipe cleaners.

Practice counting to five with your child while making this adorably "scary" ghost to celebrate Halloween.

This activity will encourage your child to discover the scientific process, compare sizes shapes, and build shape recognition skills.
