How To Set Up A FAST Halloween Sensory Paint Activity For Toddlers

Step 1: Gather supplies

All you need for this is some washable paint and Halloween themed items.

You could use mini pumpkins, spider cobweb, creepy cloth, snakes, bones, eyes, bats, or whatever!

I keep my washable finger paint in my kitchen for easy access and had all the Halloween stuff around my house so I just gathered it up. Took about 5 min to set up.

Step 2: Play!

Just lay it all out and get to playing!

I modeled using the cloth, cob webbing, and painting the Halloween floral leaves to use as stamps for my toddler. You can see in the video she was very interested in watching and learning how I used these items and went on to mimic me with a few.

I found that having the random Halloween supplies held her attention more than ANY other Halloween painting we did this year. For reference, she was 20 months at the time we did this.

When she goes down for a nap, I just reset it by tapping the mummy back up to the wall, and putting the felt body parts on a side table next to it (see video)

How long to set up and clean up:

Altogether this took about 5 minutes to set up and takes 5 minutes to clean up. The washable paint comes off really easy with just some water. The faster you wipe it up the easier – but I've let it sit for hours and it still comes off the counter and her toddler tower very easily.

If you do this activity with your kids, I'd LOVE to see it! Feel free to tag me on Instagram @theconfusedmillennial!
