Halloween is an exciting time for children, but it does not have to be scary or filled with sugary treats!
With a focus on creativity, role play and fun, there are plenty of ways to celebrate this exciting time of the year. At Little Blue Door, we love the excitement that Halloween brings. Dressing up, exploring imagination and sharing activities together all help our little ones to develop important skills while having fun. For younger children, the best celebrations are playful.
Creative Crafts
Simple art activities like pumpkin printing with paint, making paper ghosts or designing friendly monster masks encourage creativity and help develop fine motor skills.
Role Play and Dressing Up
Costumes are a big part of Halloween, and little ones enjoy pretending to be something new. Whether a witch, pumpkin or favourite storybook character, dressing up supports confidence, imagination and social play.
Tasty Treats
Halloween is also a lovely time to try simple themed snacks. Wholemeal toast cut into bat shapes, fruit arranged into “monster faces” or baking pumpkin muffins together are great ways to involve children in the kitchen while learning about healthy eating.
