Children will have a great time using their imaginations to create funny, silly monster faces and, once they’ve crafted their spinners, there’s hours of fun to be had. They can be used as puppets for storytelling or as a monster fairy wand, and they also make brilliant homemade fidget spinners – I have one on my own desk!

They’re great for understanding expressions and can even be used to communicate feelings, especially if kids are having a down day and don’t feel like talking.

And since Trick or Treating might not be on the cards this year, it also makes a really playful Halloween Craft with all the fun and none of the spook.
