How is it already October? Time really does fly by even quicker once you have kids. I’ve never been one to decorate or make Halloween goodies. But, here we are!
Below are some fun Halloween activities and ideas to do with your toddler to get you feeling spooky! You can shop all the materials here.
Food Ideas
Breakfast
Check out dashes line of mini waffle makers. They practically have one for each holiday and are the perfect portion size. I went with the spider web for Halloween!
Instead of making waffles, I used cinnamon buns inside! My daughter was so excited when she saw them cooling on the rack. We then iced and decorated with sprinkles.
If you don’t have time to make a big breakfast, try store bought powdered donuts. I called these “spider eggs.”
Desert/ Snack
1. Make a BOO mix! You need cinnamon chex, peanut butter M&M’s, caramel popcorn, pretzels, and yogurt covered raisins.
2. Use vanilla wafers, peanut butter or yogurt, and sprinkles! Place a dollop of either spread on the vanilla wafer then dip it in sprinkles. Super easy and quick!
3. Make some smores! Grab your graham crackers, pumpkin pie marshmallows, chocolate, and sprinkles for a bonfire! I added some white chocolate to the graham crackers to give it more of a Halloween vibe.
Play Ideas
I setup a few different Halloween theme sensory bins. Each one with different filler. You can find all of these materials linked below
1. Water beads
Grab orange, white, and black sensory beads. The colors were already separated when I bought them, but you could easily mix them together, which my daughter ended up doing once she started playing.
I added a few bats, mini jack-o-lanterns, pretend spiders,and a scooper. You can find most of these materials from the dollar store
2. Kinetic Sand
Use Halloween colored Kinetic sand and cookie cutters!
3. Pom poms and Beans
Find the eyeballs, count them and put them into the ten frame/ ice cube tray!
4. Playroom makeover
Decorate your child’s playroom for the spooky season! I added some ghost, pumpkin, pretend spider webs, and bat lights.
5. DIY Halloween Tablecloth
Let your child be creative with this DIY coloring tablecloth. You can use crayons, colored pencils, paint, etc. I had my daughter use crayons and paint sticks. If you haven’t seen these paint sticks before, they are wonderful and so much easier than using a brush and water! The best part is it dries in 90 seconds. My daughter loves them and has no trouble opening and closing them herself.
What are you looking forward to doing this fall season?
