Halloween is a fun holiday with the costumes and trick-or-treating, but it can also be a bit much for younger kids with scary decorations, difficult pumpkin carving, and frightening costumes. I remember when our son was two years old, he would nearly cry at Home Depot when we went by the Halloween decorations area! I rounded up six Halloween activities that make Halloween kid-friendly for kids of all ages.
- Pumpkin Cloud Dough – Made from 4 ingredients you probably already have at your house, this fun sensory dough smells like fall {via ElemenOPKids.com}
- Mummy Pumpkins – White duct tape and googly eyes make for a pumpkin young kids can decorate themselves {via Bliss-AtHome.com}
- Mummy Hot Dogs – Hot dogs wrapped in strips of crescent roll – a fun and cute dinner! {via OurOrdinaryLife.com}
- Drilled Pumpkins – Instead of carving a pumpkin with sharp knives, let the kids help you drill holes with a drill {via DesignLoveFest.com}
- Halloween Harvest Chex Mix – This Chex mix looks like Halloween with so many fall colors and would be a special treat! {via OneLittleProject.com}
- Halloween Bingo – Free printable bingo cards to play with one child or many, and it would be a great game for any class Halloween parties {via OneCreativeMommy.com}
