Halloween Themed Ideas For Kids
This Halloween, you can turn the holiday into an exciting way for kids to learn! Peer into our cauldron filled with spooky yet educational activities that will spark curiosity and creativity.
Our collection of Halloween crafts and activities will delight your little ones, so read on below to find some great ideas. Save the ones they’ll love and get ready to make this holiday a memorable and enriching experience for them!
Children’s Books About Halloween
As parents, we want the best for our children’s education and development, and one of the best and simplest ways to achieve that is by reading with them. Reading aloud is an excellent opportunity to engage your child’s imagination and encourage them to ask questions, as well as discuss the meaning of the story.
In a world of screens and technology, spending quality time with a good book is an invaluable gift you can give to your child!
Below are some of the top-rated Halloween books for kids. Add them to your home collection or borrow them from your local library.
Room On The Broom: This has to be one of our favorite Halloween books of all time! The story follows a witch and her cat as they happen upon some animals who help the witch. There’s danger, mystery, and friendship in this adorable children’s story.
5 Minute Spooky Stories: We love Disney’s 5-minute storybooks and this one is perfect for Halloween! See how all your favorite Disney characters celebrate this spooky holiday.
Ten Timid Ghosts: This is a fun countdown book about a witch who moves into a haunted house where 10 ghosts already live. The witch scares the ghosts out one by one until they devise a scheme to get her out of their house. This Halloween children’s book is good for kids who love rhyming stories!
Halloween Craft Projects

Paper Plate Frankenstein – For some monstrously good fun, transform a simple paper plate into a green monster! Kids will love to show off their artistic talents when they get to paint their new creation. It makes for a great, not-so-scary Halloween decoration!
Sugar Skull Craft – Kids can learn about new cultures and honor tradition by decorating a sugar skull. Adapt it to your child’s skill level.
Younger kids can color in as much as they’d like, whereas older kids can color in each little detail and embellish with jewels and glitter.

Little kids could paint the rock green and you help with the faces. Older kids who are able to manipulate the paint pens will be able to complete this one on their own.
