Servings:

Begin by tracing four sticky note squares on your large sheet of white paper to create the haunted houses. Divide each square house into four smaller squares, the same size as your sticky notes. This will be the canvas for your spooky residences. Repeat this at least 5 more time for a total of 6 houses.
Let your imagination run wild as you decorate each house to make it look like a haunted mansion. Draw spider webs, bats soaring through the night sky, and other eerie elements that give it that ghostly charm. Make sure to leave space on the roof for the number.
In the roof of each haunted house, write a number. For kids aged 3-4, keep the numbers under 12. For 5-year-olds, use numbers ranging from 10 to 20. And for 6-year-olds, you can even introduce simple math problems instead of single-digit numbers.
On your sticky notes, draw Halloween items that match the numbers on the houses. For example, if you have the number 5 on one roof, draw five pumpkins on a sticky note. Create four different sticky notes with Halloween items for each house, and make sure they match the numbers or math problems.
Place the numbers all around your large sheet of white paper. You can stick within on the floor, table or even a wall. Place all the sticky notes around the paper. Invite your child to choose one sticky note and count the numbers and then have them stick it on the house with the matching number.
