Awesome Halloween Activities for Preschoolers

Today I’m sharing a BUMPER list of more than 50 awesome Halloween activities for preschoolers! These are all easy (and non scary) crafts and activities – perfect for little ones. This is the ONLY Halloween activity list you’ll need!

Who loves Halloween?!

Whilst living in San Francisco I fell in love with Halloween! It’s a city that really knows how to celebrate this fun holiday – dressing up, displays, fun activities and pumpkins EVERYWHERE. I have amazing memories of celebrating with the kids at Halloween – now I look forward to making lots of new Halloween memories here in the UK.

These awesome Halloween activities are all easy to do and amazing for getting in the Halloween mood. They are aimed at preschoolers, around 3-5 years old, but you could easily adapt many of these for younger or older children too.

So get STUCK IN! There’s something for everyone here – imaginative crafts, play ideas, messy play projects. Lots of fun for creative little hands. These are all simple ideas and there’s plenty of scope for children to take projects in their own direction too. I’ve spilt the list up into crafts, play and activity ideas – hopefully that will make it a little easier to find just what you are looking for!

Do let me know which activities you try and love the best!
