Halloween Party Ideas for Kids: 3 Not-So-Spooky Activities
If you’re searching for some Halloween party ideas for kids, then I have a treat for you!
Try out these Halloween activities to keep young ghouls and gals engaged and entertained.
Build a ‘Haunted’ Fort
Kids like building forts, but they’ll love building a ‘haunted’ fort even more! I recommend the Construction Fort by Discovery Kids on Amazon. It’s a sturdy rod set for building forts, and although some parental assistance will be required to assemble the structure, it’s perfect if you’re looking for a spook-tacular Halloween activity your entire family can enjoy!
If I were facilitating this Halloween activity, then I’d also play some fun Halloween music during the construction of the haunted house. Afterwards, we’d all grab our flashlights and eat s’mores while watching the movie Hocus-Pocus.

Katie Dillon, a freelance luxury travel writer who lives in seaside La Jolla, CA, blogs at LaJollaMom.com and her No Bake Pumpkin Pie Recipe is to die for!
What I love most about her recipe (besides that it’s mouth-wateringly delicious) is that it’s easy enough for the kids to do most of the ‘cooking’ on their own.
If making the recipe with a group of younger children, then I’d measure and separate the ingredients for them so that everything’s ready for them when you start. This will make the entire process – from set-up to clean-up – run a lot smoother.
Enjoy Halloween Tricks
Halloween has always been a community-based event infused with an atmosphere of magic and mystery, which makes a magic show a natural compliment to your Halloween festivities!
Keep in mind that a magic show for kids will (or should) differ from what you’d expect to see on television or the Las Vegas strip.
Instead of knives, stage-blood and loud music, a magic show for younger kids will feature non-scary magic, squeaky-clean comedy, and lots of audience participation.
Do your homework in order to find a magician that’s the right fit for your Halloween celebration.
