Halloween Activities for Toddlers and Preschool

Wow! The days have gone by pretty quickly!

Am I right? Halloween is upon us!

Because it is October and the month of all things spooky and fun, I’ve compiled a list of Fun Halloween Activities for toddlers and preschool.

These are compiled by some of my favorite bloggers who have come up with some amazing Halloween inspired activities and crafts!

In this list you will find faux spider webs, corn maze activities, pumpkin patches, scavenger hunt activities and more! 

These play ideas + activities are a fun way to get the family together and enjoy a great time for the Halloween season.

They will work well for both toddlers and preschoolers along with a differentiated set of ages. 

Some of them we have tried and loved.

And others, I can’t wait to try (like the google eyes and pumpkin carving ideas)!

I hope you enjoy them and don’t forget to pin them to try out throughout the years!

Going down Memory Lane as a child on Halloween .. 

Do you remember how much fun Halloween was as a kid?

I can remember a lot of crafty activities at my local school using construction paper, crayons and glue! 

I love incorporating these same memories with my girls, along with some new ones I’ve found from some of my fave bloggers and passing them along with you!

Some of these activities will also provide an educational and learning approach mixed with fun and playing! Yay to that!
