Halloween is my favorite time of year for kids activities! There are just so many fun things to do with all the little Halloween toys! These Halloween Hand Monsters are a fun way to practice fine motor skills while having tons of fun! And best of all, they’re SUPER SIMPLE to set up! Alexander could not stop laughing whenever he looked at the little monster he created!

What You’ll Need: (affiliate links)
- Vampire fangs
- Eyeball finger puppets
- Pom poms or small objects to pick up
- Mini-cauldron or small container to put the Pom poms in
I found all of these items at the Target dollar spot but you can probably get them at any dollar store or on Amazon.
What To Do:
- Place the Pom poms on a table.
- Place the eyeball finger puppet on the child’s finger and ask them to pick up the fangs by placing their fingertips in the back of the fangs.
- Now they can use their newly created monster to pick up the Pom poms and place them in mini-cauldron.
So fun, great for building fine motor skills and a perfect Halloween activity!
Variations
You could also add counting and color recognition by asking the child to pick up a certain number of pom poms or a certain color.
