Non Scary Halloween Fun For Toddlers

  • May 26, 2010 11:26 am

Halloween is a time when ghosts, witches and goblins seem to pop up everywhere. Sometimes the festivities can be a little too intense for younger children.  Here are some non-spooky Halloween activities that are lots of fun for toddlers to do.

Create Fun with Colored Pasta

You can add 1 cup of uncooked pasta noodles to a plastic bag. The zip top plastic bags are perfect for coloring macaroni noodles. In a plastic cup mix 2 tablespoons of isopropyl rubbing alcohol and 4-6 drops of food coloring together. Add this liquid to the noodles, zip the bag and shake gently until the color is absorbed by all of the pasta noodles. This will take 2-3 minutes. Set a colander in the sink and pour the colored noodles into it very carefully. The excess color will be drained from the noodles. Then you can use a slotted spoon to lift the noodles and place them on a cookie sheet that you have lined with some paper towels. Let the noodles dry overnight before using them.

The best colors for Halloween crafts will be noodles that are colored orange, green, yellow and black.

Let your toddlers glue the pasta onto paper plates to create jack o’lantern faces. You can also help them string bracelets that they can wear.

Edible Treats are Fun to Make and Fun to Eat

Use some canned frosting, marshmallows, graham crackers and Halloween candies to create fun treats that can be eaten.

Bean Bag Throw

You will need an old white sheet or tablecloth for this game and some pumpkins that you cut from orange poster board.

Use wide tipped markers to draw some pumpkin targets in several places. You might want to draw some vines and leaves on the sheet with green markers, or just make some circles that resemble bull’s eyes. Now spread the cloth on the floor or place it on your lawn. Give the kids 2-3 poster board pumpkins to toss at the sheet. Whoever gets their pumpkins the closest to the targets will win the game.

* If you are using the vines and leaves drawings then the winner is the person that comes closest to landing their pumpkin back on the vine.

Additional Ideas

You can make a simple fishing pole from a small branch and a piece of yarn. Set up a table or a box in the corner of the room and cover it with a Halloween inspired cloth. Have someone sitting behind the table who stays out of view during the game. They should have a supply of small candies and toys with them. Then let each child take turn fishing. Each time the fishing line is cast over the table a small surprise can be tied or taped to the tip.

Put some dry ice in few hollowed out pumpkins and set them around the room. Make sure that toddlers can not reach the pumpkins. The dry ice will produce a smoky haze that will surprise and delight small children.

Scary Halloween Costumes for Kids

  • May 19, 2010 6:38 am

Halloween is an exciting day for many of the kids, but for some kids, particularly young ones, and a few older children too, it is terrifying because of scary Halloween costumes. Some are violent, or others simply spooky and they make confident kids feel tremendously uneasy or even frightened to the point of tears or give negative response to take part in long-established Halloween activities. For these kids, Halloween is outlandish instead of full fun.

It’s extremely significant if you have a kid who is afraid of scary Halloween costumes, or the other paraphernalia of this Halloween holiday, to honor this child’s fears. You would not be able to laugh at the child into being less scared, or reason the kid’s fears away under many circumstances. Trying to drag an apprehensive child through trick-or-treating would be of no purpose. Instead, permit your child to talk through their fears to the extent that they desire, and do not place the child into a circumstance where he/she would come across the things most feared.

Even at schools, particularly basic schools, you could assist by working with the schools PTA or parent organization to get rid of scary Halloween costumes. Since schools have a varied age population, with some kids as young as four and others as old as twelve, it’s extremely simple for the older kids to select scary Halloween costumes, which are off-putting to more than a few of the younger kids. At parent association meetings, few standards could be fixed, though this would not be totally avoid all scary Halloween costumes. Yet you could at least rid the school of ghoulish and violent costumes.

You could further motivate the scared child to dress up, and you may guide your kid toward costumes, which offer supernatural or superhero protection. Sometimes, a kid who is Superman or a gracious witch is a little more stimulated by their Halloween costume to face their fears. In this example, permit the child to speak the degree of contribution he or she might like to have in Halloween events. If the child does not really want anything to do with the holiday, respect that, and never force the issue. Fears are not normal, and they could be challenging to your plans as well, but to force a scared child on this issue is probable to set up more fear instead of less.
