Ever since sharing last weeks See & Spray Game with a monster twist, I've been on a monster kick.
So today I am sharing another monster themed activity for you-- Googly Eye Monster Math Game and invitation to play. It's a fun game for toddlers and preschoolers! And working with googly eyes is a great way to sneak in fine motor skills for little hands, too!
The game was loved by my 3 year and 7 year old, and my 22 month old loved just adding googly eyes to the monsters!

Preschool Monster Math Game
Supplies:
- contact paper
- some paint
- googly eye mix from CraftProjectIdeas,
- math die
To prep the activity, I painted three monsters on the contact paper. I tried using highlighter, but that didn't work.
And as we played and took off googly eyes, the paint did chip away a bit... but it worked for the time being.
{Obviously painting the contact paper isn't/ wasn't necessary, but I liked the colored monsters}.
To play the game with my 7 and 3 year old, we each chose a monster and then took turns rolling the die and added said number of googly eyes.
I had a mix of googly eyes, from large to very tiny-- so each monster had a look of his/her own ; )
It was a fun game with a sneaky fine motor twist!
Manipulating the googly eyes can be a tricky task, especially the tiny ones.
And once the game was over, little brother sprawled himself out on the table and started adding even more googly eyes to each monster!
