I am NOT one of those super creative mums (I mean I planned to be!) but I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m really not! I’m also not one YET to allow my kids to have a sleep over. Don’t get me wrong I love kids but I can barely look after myself .. I am not ready to have the sole responsibility OVERNIGHT of someone else’s child ;). But if you are daring enough though here are my ways to create an affordable
Cheap Halloween Party Stuff!
DIY Household Halloween Props
If like me you’re not keen on organising a sleepover overnight just yet then stick some black bags on your window, clothes the curtains and make it as dark as you can and invite the children
From around October, be sure to save those empty loo rolls! Cut eyes into the sides and pop in some glow sticks for the perfect
Not So Scary Films For Halloween
The film itself doesn’t have to be scary (obviously!) so here are a few Halloween themed that I think the kids would enjoy (mainly Disney of course but not intentional these are just the ones that sprung to mind!);
- Coco
- Haunted Mansion (with Eddie Murphy)
- Hocus Pocus
- Beetle juice
- Addams Family
- Casper
- Scooby Doo
- ET
Snacks For Kids Halloween PArty
There are TON’s of spooky themed food out there you can try but a lot of them you need to buy specific things to make. Here are some you can do that are really simple and super cheap!
I love the hot dogs with ketchup as blood and turned into fingers… these always look awesome and everyone with a child has a ton of hotdogs and ketchup in their house!
Previously we’ve filled clear rubber gloves with sweets for the kids to take away with them. Just make sure the sweets are either wrapped up or the gloves are food safe… I had loads in as I used to bake and filled them with candy we just dug out of the cupboards!
Other quick, easy and cheap things you could do is just draw up a pumpkin face on small clementines, fill up a bunch of straws with jelly to make some ‘worms’ and wrap up some lollipops in toilet roll add some eyes and you have a bunch of ghosts!
Games & Halloween Jokes For Kids
We’ve played the mummy game at a Halloween party before. It’s where the kids partner up and wrap each other up using toilet roll as mummy’s. Time them! They get super competitive but it’s impossible to do on their own they need to be in twos (or more!)
You. could even do the games before the film and use the empty loo rolls yo’ve acquired from here to create your glow in the dark eyes I mentioned above!
If you have some pumpkins in already or intend to get some for Halloween anyway pick up some the next time you are at the supermarket but make sure they have quite tall stems.
Use the glow sticks, I've no doubt you now have loads of from decorating the room and only using 5 out of a pack of 100(!), and pop them together to a necklace.
Line up the pumpkins and have a game of pumpkin ring toss!
And that's it for my ways on how to create a fun yet affordable kid-friendly Halloween party!
