We’ve compiled our favorite Halloween crafts, activities, and printables that will help the kids feel festive and learn too.

From making more crafts to Halloween do a dot printables, there’s something for everyone on this list. So get ready to have some fun and have the kids learn a few things along the way!

Kids’ Books About Halloween

Most parents want their kids to do well in school, but they may not realize that one of the best ways to help them is also one of the simplest: reading aloud to them.

When children are read to, they may develop a stronger understanding of both language and concepts. They learn new words, and they gain exposure to different ideas and genres.

In addition, reading aloud helps kids to develop important critical-thinking skills. As they listen to a story, they learn to make predictions, solve problems and draw conclusions.

For those reasons and more, we recommend starting with some fun Halloween books:

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!
