Kids Halloween Party – The Ultimate List of Fun Ideas

Everything you need to know to throw a fun kids Halloween party — from spooky-themed activities to decor and party favors.

Below you will find the checklist I plan from, the four activities we set up, the decor, and the party favors we used. Also be sure to check out our printable bundle of Halloween activities, a fun way to learn early childhood education skills including letters, numbers, shapes, scissor skills and writing.

Since we love kids’ activities, I always try to include 3 or 4 different ones for kiddos to explore whenever we have parties. We like to keep them budget-friendly, getting bulk supplies online or from places like Dollar Tree or Target’s Bullseye section. Here are the four we set up at this particular Halloween party.

Have a cousin, uncle or aunt, or friend who would be open to making a special appearance during the kids Halloween party?

Pictured is my brother who dressed up like Blippi one year and the kids thought it was a hoot. During a Halloween party it is likely that all the kids and some adults will be dressed up, but it is always a fun treat when a new character joins the party and entertains the kids for thirty or so minutes.

Here are some simple ways to give off some major Halloween vibes. Halloween decor is so adaptable and so dependent on the kind of items you have been collecting over the years.

As you can see with this party, the decor is super young-kid friendly — meaning no scary or bloody decor. But if your kiddos are ready for that, then go for it.

Also worth noting: I wanted our party favor to be both practical and non-candy related. And while we did not have candy inside our party favor, we did make sure to have a yummy treat for them to eat while they were at the party.
