Halloween is a magical time of the year, but it can be a bit too spooky for the youngest members of your family. If you're looking for fun and non-spooky Halloween activities for babies and toddlers, you're in the right place. We've curated a list of fun, safe, and memorable ways to celebrate Halloween with the little ones. Let's ensure this holiday is filled with joy, not fright!

Pumpkin Decorating

Pumpkin carving might be too intricate for little hands, but pumpkin decorating is a creative and less messy alternative. Let your little artist's imagination run wild by providing non-toxic paint, stickers, and markers. They can transform pumpkins into colourful masterpieces without the sharp objects or spooky designs.

Halloween Story Time

Gather your babies and toddlers for a cosy Halloween-themed story time. Choose age-appropriate books with friendly characters and simple, engaging stories. You can also add a dash of fun by using props or puppets to bring the tales to life. (Some of our favourites are: Room on the Broom, The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Creep-Crawly Halloween, and Funny Bones.)

Costume Parade

Toddler Halloween Costume Ideas

Halloween is all about dressing up, and even the tiniest tots can join in on the fun. Organise a costume parade at home or with other families, allowing your little ones to proudly show off their adorable, non-spooky costumes. Don't forget to capture these precious moments with photos!

Trick-or-Treat at Home

You can adapt the tradition of trick-or-treating for the little ones by setting up a fun, treat-filled scavenger hunt at home. Hide small treats or toys around the house and let your toddlers "hunt" for them. It's a safe and exciting way to celebrate Halloween indoors.

Pumpkin Sensory Bags

For babies who are not quite ready to handle real pumpkins, you can create pumpkin sensory bags. Simply fill a sealable plastic bag with pumpkin guts, add some small Halloween-themed toys, and seal it securely. Your baby can squish and explore without making a mess.

Halloween-Themed Playdough

Make Halloween-themed playdough using natural dyes and non-toxic materials. Toddlers can enjoy shaping and creating their own Halloween-themed figures without the need for sharp tools. It's a great sensory and creative activity.

Friendly Ghost Crafts

Create friendly ghost crafts using cotton balls, white paper, and googly eyes. These cute and non-spooky ghosts are perfect for toddlers to make and proudly display around the house as Halloween decorations.

Halloween can be a joyous and memorable experience for babies and toddlers without any spookiness. By embracing these non-spooky Halloween activities, you can create precious family memories while ensuring a safe and fun celebration. From pumpkin decorating to friendly ghost crafts, these ideas cater to your little one's age and interests, making Halloween a fun holiday for the entire family. So, put on those costumes and get ready for a day of non-spooky Halloween fun!
