Halloween is tomorrow! Are you looking for a last-minute event or activity to do with the kids? Look no further! I have done the research and pulled together a list of all of the fun Halloween events happening around town the next few days – as well as a few craft/art projects to try with the kids. Happy Halloween!

Crafts & Activities

Halloween Hunt: Last year, I created a Halloween scavenger hunt for our children. I wrote 10 rhyming clues that took the kids all around the house – and eventually to a Halloween basket. Instead of candy I included things like tattoos, stickers, colouring books, glow in the dark bracelets, a Halloween book, and so on. The kids loved it!

Halloween Shadow Puppet Play: Last Halloween, my Mom put together an incredible Shadow Puppet Play. She created the shadow puppet box and characters and read and acted out the sweet story of The Little Ghost Who Lost Her Boo by Elaine Bickell.

DIY Halloween Village by HGTV: I love this idea of turning wooden birdhouses into a cute Halloween village!

Stained Glass Halloween Sun Catcher by Mosswood Connections: This is a simple yet gorgeous Halloween craft for the kids: a stained-glass sun catcher created using coloured tissue paper!

Glue and Salt Spiderweb Craft by Teach Beside Me: This is such a beautiful and creative project, using only glue, table salt, and watercolour paints!

Halloween Handprint Art by The Best Ideas for Kids: This is a cute and easy activity for little ones to do.

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Halloween!
