About this resource

Something spooky is hiding in the grid! In these five Halloween mystery pictures for EYFS, children colour each square using a simple colour key to reveal a pumpkin, a ghost, a black cat, a witch's hat and a spider. The grids are small (6 × 6) with big squares for little hands. Three pictures have dot patterns like a dice for children to count, and two have big numbers from 1 to 5 to match. The key shows each colour next to its dots or number, so there is no reading at all. What's included: 5 mystery pictures: Pumpkin, ghost, black cat, witch hat and spider A teacher information page for each picture Coloured answer pages showing each finished picture Editable PowerPoint and ready-to-print PDF Skills covered: Counting to 4 and subitising dot patterns Recognising numerals to 5 Matching to a colour key Fine motor skills and colouring Ideal for a Halloween maths lesson, early finishers, a calm afternoon activity, a fluency starter or the last week before half term.Read more
