A Halloween Party Goody Bag
We made these for my 4 year old’s preschool class and they are just adorable. I can just picture his friends building and creating with these fun little monsters.
We assembled the halloween goody bag by placing one monster playdough mat card, 2 mini containers of playdough, googly eyes, fake teeth, and cut pipe cleaners in a decorative bag.
My son was so happy to hand these out to his friends at their Halloween party!
