What you will find below is a list of the most entertaining Halloween activities for your little ones.

1. Halloween Sticker Match Game

Kids love stickers! Right? During our store visits, we all witnessed the incident where they’d be all over the place. Kids won’t budge until they have the stickers they had their eyes on. Well, it’s Halloween and let’s just give them what they have always wanted.

What will you need?

1. Water Bottle
2. Foam Halloween Stickers
3. Pen
4. Paper and tape

How to Make this Halloween Activity

1. Trace the stickers onto a separate piece of paper.

2. Once you’ve traced the stickers, tape the paper on the outside of the bottle.

3. Put stickers inside the bottle to keep them contained and portable

4. Let kids match the stickers with the outline!

You could use this activity in the car, as a busy bag activity, or to keep your kids occupied while you make dinner. It’s totally up to you.

2. Halloween Colouring



What’s better than a colourful and cheerful Halloween?

The internet is filled with a huge variety of Halloween colouring activities. They come in different styles, including colour by number, Halloween maths facts colouring pages, imaginative "doodle" style pages and Halloween colouring cards and much more.

While they are at it you can always tell them the story behind why we celebrate Halloween in the first place? Because there is so much more besides the fun and frolic they must know.
