Looking for the perfect mix of safe, fun, and spooky for your next kid-friendly Halloween party? We’ve got you covered!
In addition to being a kid-favorite holiday, Halloween is also the perfect time to get creative and create memories together. Hosting a Halloween party for children has never been easier with this ultimate round-up of easy and kid-safe games, food, and DIY costume ideas to enjoy.
Kid-Safe Halloween Party Games You Need to Try
It’s not a party without games everyone can’t wait to play! Try setting up some of the safe (and fun) Halloween activities below:
- Host a glow stick treasure hunt: Tape spooky sticker prizes to brightly coloured glow sticks of different sizes and hide them in your backyard! This is a fun and safe way to bring everyone in on the Halloween fun after sunset.
- Set up a pumpkin bowling course: Stock up on plastic bottles and stand them up as bowling pins on the driveway, deck, or porch. Let the kids take turns rolling small pumpkins to knock them down as a festive twist on the classic!
- Hold a Mummy Wrap Contest: Divide kids into teams, and give each team a roll of toilet paper. Start the timer and task each team to wrap one teammate into a mummy—the first team to finish wins!
Easy Kid-Approved Halloween Party Food Ideas
Looking to keep everyone fed with something for everyone? Look no further than these low-mess, sweet and savory party food ideas:
- Fruity Ghost Skewers: To make this spooky skewer, cut and place fruit like grapes, berries, melon cubes, and a marshmallow on skewers. Then use a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate to draw ghost eyes on the marshmallow!
- Savory Witch’s Broomsticks: Mimic the bristles of a broomstick by making tiny vertical cuts on the bottom half of a long cube of cheese. Next, wrap the uncut top of the long cheese cube around a pretzel stick for a witchy snack!
- Freezie Pops in a Pumpkin: The perfect grab-and-go treat children can enjoy before the next game, fill a hollowed out pumpkin with ice and some organic SuperFruit Freezie Pops for a Halloween treat bowl!
- Jack-o’-Lantern Stuffed Peppers: The perfect party dinner, carve bell peppers like mini jack-o’-lanterns and stuff them with rice, veggies, beans or meat, and cheese. Bake in the oven until soft and roasted for a nourishing main dish!
Quick DIY Halloween Costumes Kids Can Make Together
A great way to encourage role-play, creativity, and imagination, set up a DIY costume station kids will love to explore (and wear!) through the party evening. Our favorite ideas are:
- Superhero Cape Costume: Grab old pieces of fabric and cut them into large pieces kids can choose from as their cape! Let them decorate their cape with markers and glitter, then simply clip to clothes for a fun costume.
- Sheet Ghost Costume: Cut large eye holes into old pillow cases to make this costume, ensuring the case isn’t long enough to be a trip hazard. Similar to the superhero cape, let kids decorate their costumes to encourage creativity.
- Animal Kingdom Costume: Use construction paper to help cut animal ears and crowns for whatever animal each child wants to be, and hot glue their finished headpieces to a plastic headband they can wear all party long!
