A big roundup of Halloween activities from fellow bloggers and our own posts: Halloween art, crafts, sensory play, and party games and ideas to keep you covered for the spooky season.
⚠️ Safety first
- Water beads (Giant Eyeball Play) are dangerous if swallowed. Keep them away from babies, toddlers and any child who mouths things, and supervise closely.
- Buttons, googly eyes, sequins and pom-poms are choking hazards for little ones. Supervise closely.
- 'Edible' or 'baby safe' paint means taste-safe (non-toxic if mouthed), not a snack.
- For the jar lanterns, an adult handles the glass jars. Light them with battery tea lights rather than real candles.
- Keep shaving cream, slime and play dough away from eyes and mouths, and wash hands after play.
- Check each linked post for its own materials and allergen information before running it.
