TDuring Halloween, there are tons of fun activities you can do with kids. From carving pumpkins and organizing costume contests to making spooky snacks and decorating a haunted house. End the evening with a fun movie night. These traditions will create unforgettable moments and a festive atmosphere for the whole family!
Pumpkin cutting 🎃
Pumpkin carving is one of the most fun Halloween traditions! Choose a sturdy pumpkin and make sure you have a sharp knife and spoon. Let the kids help hollow it out and draw faces or designs. Place a candle or LED light inside the pumpkin so it glows brightly at night. Not only is it a creative activity, but it’s also a great way to create memories together and embrace the Halloween spirit!
Costume Contest 🧙♀️
Halloween is the perfect time to get your fancy dress on! Have a fashion show in your living room with your scariest costumes; from creepy witches to cute monsters, anything goes. Make sure to have fun prizes in different categories, such as “most creepy” and “most original”.
Making Halloween Snacks 🍯
Halloween is the perfect time to make some fun and spooky treats! Together with the kids, bake pumpkin cookies decorated with orange icing and candy. Also make “spooky” marshmallow pops by dipping marshmallows in chocolate and decorating them with candy eyes. Or try making “witch fingers” out of almond cookies, using almonds as nails.
Make a Haunted House 👻
Create your own haunted house in your living room for Halloween! Use scary decorations like spider webs and fake skeletons to create a spooky atmosphere. Let the kids help decorate and come up with fun decorations!
Spooky Movie Night 🕸️
Host a cozy movie night with kid-friendly Halloween movies! Make it extra fun with (homemade) Halloween snacks. Choose a mix of scary and funny movies, so there is something for everyone to enjoy. Dim the lights, put on your favorite pajamas and dive into a world of spooky stories together.
