It only takes a little bit of prep for a whole lot of fun

Who doesn’t love playing I-Spy? Especially in the car, my kids are obsessed with this game – same way I was when I was a kid.

In this version, I’ve pre-made a “game board” filled with stickers to “I-Spy”. It’s the perfect way to play this inside AND with a holiday twist on it.

• Butcher paper
• Painter’s tape
• Marker
• Halloween stickers

Three kids x many many Halloweens and yada yada yada I have a lot of Halloween stickers floating around my supply drawer.

I’m never quite sure what to do with stickers and I really don’t want them being stuck to my furniture or car window, so I decided this would work instead.

Here’s how I set up this easy Halloween activity:

• I started by rolling out the paper and hanging it on my wall with painter’s tape.  I use painter’s tape because it’s made to be safe for walls.
• I put tons and tons of Halloween stickers over the wall – making sure to space them out and use a good variety.
• Then I handed a marker over to my daughter (4) and we started to play I-Spy.

This is how we played Halloween I-Spy

I gave her simple clues and asked her to circle the character when she found it. Things like “I see 7 candy corn” or “I see 4 pumpkins.”

She had a ball looking around the paper for the different stickers and really studying / noticing them. This was a chance to really see and view the stickers.

Is she learning anything by playing this?

Why yes, yes she is.

She’s learning:

• Arm strength
• Hand-eye coordination
• Pencil grip
• Visual discrimination
• Counting skills
• Spatial awareness

Who know a bunch of holiday stickers and some wipe paper would end up being so much fun!

I’m so glad I set up this Halloween Activity

What a great way to use up holiday stickers AND make a fun activity at the same time.
