MONSTER FACTORY! Roll or Spin A Monster PRINT & PLAY Game / Play Dough Mats

Every monster is unique with this fun, non-competitive game to practise counting, colours and parts of the body! Kids spin the spinner or roll the dice and add the part of the body to their monster mat using play dough and googly eyes (or a dry-erase marker). They can play as many rounds as they want and build up their own one-of-a-kind monsters!
