Fun Halloween Ideas and Activities Kids and Parents Will LoveLooking for fun Halloween ideas for kids? From dressing up and trick-or-treating to making Halloween crafts, there are plenty of ways for families to celebrate together.
In St. Louis, Halloween includes an especially fun tradition: children often tell a joke before receiving their treats! Whether your family continues this local tradition or has Halloween traditions of its own, Good Buddy Notes offers unique Halloween cards, children’s activities and baby’s first Halloween gifts designed to make the holiday even more memorable.
Send a Fun Halloween Card for Kids
A thoughtful Halloween card is an easy way to surprise a child, grandchild, niece, nephew or family friend.
The Halloween Card for Kids from Good Buddy Notes features whimsical artwork by children’s illustrator Shelley Dieterichs. The front of the card shows a dog dressed in a cat costume and a cat dressed in a dog costume.
Inside, the card reads:
“Get ready for tricks and treats!”
This playful card is a fun addition to a Halloween gift or care package. You can also mail it to a special child who lives too far away to visit on Halloween.
Celebrate Baby’s First Halloween
A baby’s first Halloween is a milestone parents and grandparents will always remember. The My First Halloween Onesie makes an adorable outfit and a meaningful keepsake.
The long-sleeved onesie is made from 100% organic cotton and features an illustrated pumpkin decal handstitched onto the front. It is available in the following sizes:
- 0–3 months
- 3–6 months
- 6–12 months
The collection also includes My First Thanksgiving and My First Christmas designs, making it easy to celebrate each of baby’s first holidays.
These holiday onesies make thoughtful gifts for new parents, baby showers and newborn celebrations. They are also a cute choice for seasonal photographs and family gatherings.
Make Your Own Halloween Trick-or-Treat Bag
Crafting is one of the best Halloween activities for kids because it allows children to be creative while making something they can use.
With the Make a Halloween Trick-or-Treat Bag activity page, children can color illustrated shapes of a bat, ghost, owl and pumpkin. They can then cut out the decorations and glue them onto a bag to create their own personalized trick-or-treat bag.
A mini box of crayons is included, making this an easy Halloween craft to enjoy at home, during a classroom celebration or at a Halloween party.
Adult supervision is recommended when children are using scissors.
Create a Cat Halloween Mask
The Make Your Own Cat Halloween Mask activity page is another creative Halloween activity for children.
Kids can color the illustrated cat face, cut it out and turn it into a one-of-a-kind Halloween mask. A mini box of crayons is included so they can begin creating right away.
The finished mask can be worn as part of a simple homemade costume, used for pretend play or displayed as a Halloween decoration.
