You can choose to pre-package the play dough kits and gift them to your students at your classroom Halloween party, or you can set them up as one of your Halloween party stations.

I tend to pack the kits ahead of time, including all three mats and a variety of play dough friendly loose parts.

The cheapest place I have found to purchase individual cans of play dough in a particular color is Walmart.

For the “Build a Monster” mat, the students will need play dough, pipe cleaners, a paper straw, and lots of Googly eyes.

If the students choose the “Build a Pumpkin” mat, they will need play dough, black beads, Googly eyes, and pipe cleaners.

For the “Build a Spider” mat, the students will need play dough, pipe cleaners, a paper straw, some glitter Pom-Poms, and Googly eyes.

Halloween Play Dough Student Gift

I have found the easiest way to package these adorable Halloween play dough kits is with a clear cellophane bag tied with jute twine. A zippered storage baggie works great too!

Not only do these individual Halloween play dough kits make great student gifts, they also make a fun DIY Halloween party favor!

As a dedicated Kindergarten teacher for nearly 20 years, I believe the words “fun, play, and creativity” can sit right alongside the words “developmentally appropriate, engaging, and rigorous.” Learning is meant to be fun and messy!
