Halloween Play Dough Kits

Every year our Alpine Co. office has the pleasure of handing out treats to our neighboring preschool as the "trick or treat" at all of the offices leased in the building. Choices for Children and the Alpine Early Learning Center want to focus on positive choices so each year we try to think of a novel item to hand out that promotes health (or at least isn't candy).

This year we kept and open mind and went shopping. We found this great package of play dough at a local clearance store.

We also found tubes of mini safari animals and mini sea creatures. 

After a little research we paired the animals up with one's they were most likely to share a habitat with and found fine art photos on-line which represented their habitats. We printed the images on white stock card paper.

We paired each set of animals with 2 colors of play dough and placed in a holiday themed bag.

Toddlers received a play dough kit with a cookie cutter rather than the small animals. The infants received a fruit pouch of banana/pumpkin dressed up like a mummy (white crepe paper).
