Halloween Books For Kids
Ready for some cute Halloween stories? These books are not only enjoyable to read, but they also teach valuable lessons about friendship, courage, and cooperation.
Even more than that, reading to your kids can help increase their vocabulary, learn to focus for longer periods of time, and of course, help them get excited about Halloween!
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!
Kids’ Halloween Crafts
Crafting is not only a fun activity for young kids, but it also has a number of benefits. For one, crafting helps to develop fine motor skills. By threaded beads onto a string or cutting out shapes with scissors, kids learn to control and use small muscles in their hands.
In addition, crafting can also boost cognitive development. Activities such as finding specific colors or counting beads help kids to learn and practice important concepts like numbers and shapes.
And finally, crafting is also a great way for kids to express their creativity. Whether they are making a paper craft or painting a picture, kids can explore their imaginations and create something unique.
So next time you’re looking for an activity for your little ones, don’t forget about crafting! Try out some of these cool ideas:
Handprint Werewolf Craft – If your little ones are howling for a werewolf craft project, this handprint werewolf is the perfect activity! Not only is it unique and creative, but it’s also a great opportunity for kids to practice using scissors. Plus, there’s no messy paint involved.
Pumpkin Emotions Craft – We all have emotions, and sometimes it can be tough to know how to express them. This pumpkin emotions craft is a fun way for kids to learn about and express their feelings. The craft is simple to make, and it’s a great way for kids to get creative.
Paper Plate Frankenstein Craft – It’s time to get spooky! If you want another cool Frankenstein activity, this paper plate craft is a great option!
Monster Headband Craft – We don’t know about you, but we always loved arts and crafts as kids. There’s something about using your hands to create something that’s both gratifying and fun. And what’s more fun than making a monster headband? This craft is perfect for kids of all ages, and if crafting with paper is too hard, kids can color in the black and white version instead.
