Jump on the Halloween Bandwagon With These Fun Party Ideas

Kinsights’ Parenting Expert Jennifer Chung Invites You to Jump on the Halloween Bandwagon With These Fun Party Ideas

Day of the Dead Cookies can be incredibly fun to make with your kids and it’s easy to just make sugar cookies and then decorate these.

If you’re looking to make sure the kids have something to eat at the party besides sweets, these Halloween quesadillas are made to look like pumpkins and taste really good.

Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats are something your kids can help make and you can easily wrap them in cellophane and hand them out after the party as gifts.

Halloween Puppy Chow is one of our favorite things to have out on tables for people to munch on.

White Chocolate Candy Popcorn is another yummy and easy to make snack that is great for having around your house.

Have some fun activities for your party so kids can keep entertained. In fact, some of these can be made with your kids before the party so they can feel like they’re helping decorate, and others can be set up on a craft table where kids can create while parents hang out

Sugar Skulls can be a fun craft if you make the skulls ahead of time and then just let kids decorate the skulls. Or, even easier yet, you can purchase the skulls at a local craft store.

Painting with Spiders is an easy activity that most kids can do. Simply get a container or a sectioned plate with different washable paints, paper, and small plastic spiders. They’ll be creating spooky masterpieces in no time.

Get their minds active and working hard while learning to identify new words with a Halloween Word Search.

You want your home to fit the mood of the day, so decide if you’re going to be spooky or more on the lighter side. Here are a few of my suggestions.

The “Enter if you dare” wreath is a fantastic addition to your front door and will get people excited about knocking to find out what’s going on inside.

Mummy Mason jars are fun for decorating your table and putting lights in for the night time hours.

 

This Black Cat Bunting is great for putting behind serving tables or anywhere inside your home.
