I guarantee there will be something fun for everyone.
And there's still two weeks before Halloween to squeeze these things into your plans.
LOCAL, FREE FUN
Our Fresh Thyme Market had a free fall festival on Saturday and it was a blast. The kids got to paint pumpkins, drink apple cider, eat caramel apples, play games and make sucker spiders. It was a fun way to spend our Saturday.
EDIBLE PUMPKIN FACES
Give your kids all the supplies they need to make their own edible pumpkin faces. It's a fun snack to play with and then eat. You can find all the details here.
ICE CUBE TRAY MEALS
My kids love when I serve meals in these ice cube trays. I make holiday themed ones like this Halloween one and then we do them throughout the year with their favorite foods. I know most people have ice makers in their fridge and might not have ice cube trays around. You're in luck - they come in two packs for under $2 at the store.
DIY FALL FESTIVAL
Invite your favorite people over for a Fall Festival!! Make edible spider webs, indoor smores, Halloween crafts, spider hats, Halloween patterns and play games. You can find all the fall festival details here.
SPOOKY FOOD
If you're a teacher, I have a great Halloween project for you to do with your students! Ask them to create their own spooky food for Halloween. They can pick any kind of food from a box and then they have to come up with a catchy name, picture of their food, ingredient list, price, activities on the box, etc. and then present them to the class. We always brainstormed ideas at school and then the kids made their boxes at home. You can find all the details here.
PAINTED PUMPKINS
If you aren't up for carving pumpkins, painting pumpkins is a great alternative! It's quick and not as gross as scooping out pumpkin guts :) You can find my directions here.
PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP BAKED OATMEAL
This recipe is easy, delicious for breakfast or a dessert and I bet you've got all the ingredients you need in your pantry right now. You can find the recipe here.
PUMPKIN SWIRL FRENCH TOAST
Need an easy breakfast?? This recipe will not dissappoint
HALLOWEEN WAFFLES
If you aren't big on pumpkin flavor, these waffles are for you! They just add a tiny bit of food coloring to make them festive. You can find the details here.
PUMPKIN CINNAMON ROLLS
Another great recipe that doesn't have pumpkin in it, but are iced to look like pumpkins. You can find all the details here.
HAND & FOOT PRINT ART
Stamp those little hands and feet to document holidays with your favorite little people. Here are some Halloween prints we've done in the past few years.
Cat print Halloween Cards - instructions here
Candy Corn Prints
Hand print witch
I really love how this witch turned out from last year. You can find all the details here.
What fun Halloween plans do you have for the rest of the month??

So many cute ideas. I love the ice cube tray meals to eat with tooth picks, my kids love anything random with their food! xoxo ERIN
ReplyDeleteWhitney you are giving me SO many fun ideas lately. Those pumpkin faces are just the Cutest. I should do some sugar cookies for the girls and let them put faces on those too. I hope y'all have an amazing Monday friend.
ReplyDeleteOh those edible pumpkin faces are genius! Def. trying those out this week with the kiddos! Love all your ideas!
ReplyDeleteWe painted our pumpkins last year instead of carving and I really liked it!
ReplyDeleteYour ice cube tray meals are my favorite steal from you! Connor loves when I give this to him at lunch and 9 out of 10 times he finishes every single bit of the food in the tray.
