Kid Friendly Halloween Party Ideas | Inspired By Family Magazine

The first time we took our son?trick or treating he was petrified. The neighborhood we lived in, went all out with their gory Halloween decor and I think he was scarred for life.? Since that experience we decided to start a tradition in our family, to host?a Halloween/Harvest Party?in our home for our friends.

In the past I have tried to be creative in my decorating and crafts, trying to come up with some kid friendly fun ideas?and staying away from?bloody body parts and other scary things. These are some of the?kid friendly?Halloween party ideas I have?come up with and?the

others are from BHG.? Last year, I went with the purple, orange and black theme?and the year before it was a Pumpkin Patch theme lots of pumpkin and hay.? I am still not sure what this years will look like.

KID CRAFTS:

We had a large group so we did some prep work ahead of time to get our pumpkin spiders ready for our guest. Use a melon baller and?make a?hole?in the middle big enough for a tea candle. Glue?googly eyes to the pumpkin and ahead of time make 4 small?holes on the bottom to insert pipe cleaners for the legs.

FOOD:

Apple wedges sandwiched with caramel and marshmallows for teeth

Store bought Orange Punch and with a sharpie made pumpkin faces

Worm Juice- Gummy worms on the edges of?the punch bowl. I taped eyes to the outside of the bowl.

lollipops covered in orange tissue paper and pumpkin faces drawn on.

Hotdogs wrapped in frozen biscuit dough or dinner roll, crescent rolls also works and then bake. I used food writing pens to make the eyes.

healthy snack- mandarin pumpkins

Pumpkin cupcakes using chocolate chips for the face and green fondant for the stem.

ACTIVITIES

Photo Booth Dress up

Hang a picture frame from the ceiling and add lots of props for fun pictures

Decorate your pumpkin station- We had markers, feathers, tissue paper, pipe cleaners and paint out on the table for kids to do whatever they wished with their pumpkins

Caramel Apple Biting Contest- Hang apples from ceiling or tree and have kids try to bite the caramel apple without using their hands. It?s quite entertaining to watch!
