Reading to children during their early years is important. It helps them learn new vocabulary, share feelings, be patient, and more. Because of this, we like to add new books to each unit study.
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!
Crafting is important for children. One reason is that it helps them learn how to work with their hands. It teaches them different skills like using their senses, working with shapes, and looking at colors. Add more Halloween projects to your list. Below are some of our top picks!
