Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to start planning some fun and spooky activities for your little ones! At Little Pea Shop, we believe in making every holiday special for our little peas. Here are some fantastic Halloween ideas to ensure your family has a frightfully good time.
Creative Halloween Crafts
Crafting is a wonderful way to get into the Halloween spirit. Here are some easy and fun ideas:
Pumpkin Mason Jar Craft: Paint mason jars to look like pumpkins and use them as lanterns.
- Handprint Ghosts: Use white paint to make handprint ghosts on black paper. Add googly eyes for a spooky touch.
- Spider Web Plates: Create spider webs using black paper plates and white yarn.
Spooky Sensory Bins
Sensory bins are great for toddlers to explore different textures and objects. Fill a bin with:
- “Eyeballs” (peeled grapes) and “intestines” (cooked spaghetti) for a creepy feel.
- Halloween-themed toys like mini pumpkins, plastic spiders, and bats.
Halloween-Themed Games
Keep the kids entertained with these fun games:
- Pumpkin Bowling: Use small pumpkins as bowling balls and plastic bottles as pins.
- Mummy Wrap Race: Have a race to see who can wrap their partner in toilet paper the fastest to look like a mummy.
- Halloween I Spy: Create a list of Halloween items for kids to find around the house or yard.
Deliciously Spooky Treats
Get creative in the kitchen with these Halloween treats:
- Monster Rice Krispie Treats: Add green food coloring to your Rice Krispie mix and decorate with candy eyes and sprinkles.
- Ghost Bananas: Dip banana halves in white chocolate and add chocolate chip eyes to make ghostly snacks.
- Pumpkin Patch Dirt Cups: Layer chocolate pudding with crushed cookies and top with candy pumpkins.
Dress-Up Fun
Encourage your kids to dress up in their favorite costumes. Whether it’s a cute pumpkin, a spooky ghost, or a friendly witch, dressing up is always a hit. Don’t forget to take lots of pictures to capture the memories!
Halloween Story Time
End the day with some Halloween-themed storybooks. Gather around and read stories like “Room on the Broom” by Julia Donaldson or “The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything” by Linda Williams4.
