Pumpkin Washing Station
If you’re going to pick pumpkins and paint or carve them you might as well make a night of it and start by washing them up! Throw a couple of empty totes on the porch and fill them with warm water and a bit of dish soap. From there, have the kids scrub them down, rinse them and dry them up. Now all you have to do is let them dry and decide what you’re doing with the outside of them.
Create A Scavenger Hunt
Gather about 10 different items, things like Halloween decorum a broom, a pumpkin, etc, and place them around the house or yard, if it’s still warm enough out. Make sure to create some riddles or interesting clues so that the kids can try to find the items in a fun way. If you have a lot of time or are super creative, blend each clue in with the next find. This could also be as simple or as hard as you want it to be. What a fun way to get into Halloween activities!
Go To A Haunted House
Or make your house into a haunted house. You could also visit a place that rumored to be haunted or take a walk outside and do little things to creep out the kids. (Like tapping them on the shoulder, making weird noises or even playing some spooky music on your phone in your pocket.)
Tell Scary Stories
Whether you’re cuddled with blankets in the living room or around a warm campfire, spooky stories are always fun around Halloween. You could grab some books, throw on an audio book or even tell your stories from scary things that have happened to you. (But careful with this one.. You don’t wanna freak your kiddos out too much with real life and all.)
