Best Kid-Friendly Ideas for Halloween Decorations

What’s Halloween without pumpkins? Would it even make sense? You can purchase pumpkins for Halloween and paint them in different, creative ways! Pumpkins can be decorated as witches and wizards, carved into scary monsters, and painted with funny faces.

You can then arrange them at your doorstep. What better way to welcome visitors than with scary pumpkins? You can ask your children about what kind of pumpkins they would like to create!

Horror movies have made us scared of ghosts and that’s a valid reason to create ghosts for Halloween. You can involve your kids while you make this decoration. All you need is some serviettes/tissues, string, and a black marker. You simply bunch up the tissues then tie a knot around the top. 

You can then hang them all on a rope. That’s easy, right?

If you add the ghosts along the strings it will lead to a bunting effect. Additionally, add a face using the marker. You may hang them in your backyard or back door window.

Are there any plastic materials or containers around your house that you want to dispose of? Why not use them as candle holders? With the help of your kids, shape the containers well so they can support the candles. However, you need to have candle stands to prevent them from falling and burning the surface. 

What a great way to lighten up the path to your home! Your lawn will look amazing! You just need small containers to make it look more natural. 

What would Halloween be without a spider web? You can decorate the windows with spider webs! Go to the store and find amazing fake spider webs and put them on your windows. Or you can use cotton wool to make fake spider webs.

Use a fake spider and hang it from the top of the roof. This will help make the window have a spooky feel. You can also add the webs to the front door. Let the spiders hang all over!

Yes, scarecrows are ideal for scaring off animals on the farm. However, they are also a great Halloween craft. All you need is a pole, then dress it as a human. If you dress it like a ghost, it will make it look scarier.  

For the scarecrow, you can put it in your garden to scare people during Halloween. Also, you can paint the scarecrow like a clown. Bring that spark of a joker!

You can also spice up the lighting to look creepy. You can put lighting in pumpkins, preferably the orange lights, which will make your garden look creepy. You can easily use string lights to make it look spectacular at night, as well. 

Additionally, you can use witches, bats, and ghosts to make a great, well-lit environment. You can choose battery-lighted bulbs to make the area look spooky. Installing some lightings around your hanging plants in the living room can be spooky and nice at the same time!

Do you have trees & bushes in your garden? Why not sweep the fallen leaves of the trees and pile them near your house frontage. Make the pile look spooky, you can even add sticks around the pile to make it look like dirt that is enclosed in a prison cell.

Additionally, if you have some gardening pots, you can place sticks inside the gardening pots and other dead plants. This will make the place look abandoned. If you have some toy bones you can also place them near the pots to make the area look deserted.

You can collect any kind of decaying sunflowers or corn stalks and put them at your front door. However, just two or three will work. Don’t have too many.

The decaying nature will make the place look spooky.

As a gardener, you have different types of plants you are growing either indoors or outdoors. Why not churn a bit of each and place them in one container?

The combination of too many plants in one place will make it look spooky. Use the kind of plants that will make a Halloween statement. Brainstorm with your kids to know the best way to combine the plants.

Bats are scary, especially when they are hanging on trees. Hence, if you have a tree in your garden, why not create a bat with your children and hang it on the tree using a string?

Let it look as scary as possible! You can either buy a premade bat or use manila paper to make it. If it’s possible to have something making some noises near the bat, it will make it more exciting.
