Halloween Craft Ideas
Paper Jack-O-Lanterns are easy for kids of all ages to make. Toddlers can just draw the faces, while older kids an also do the cutting.
Pick up some small pumpkins at the grocery store for painting.
Do you have black balloons? Add some black streamers to make spiders.
Halloween Game Ideas

Halloween toss. Use your extra trick or treat candy to toss into Halloween buckets.
Halloween Treat Ideas
Orange O’Lanterns are time consuming, but manageable for a small group.
Candy Corn Fruit Cups are also simple. I already have all the ingredients in my house – pineapple, clementines, and whipped topping. When making for a smaller group, I would make them a little larger and not in disposable cups.
Of course you can always make and decorate cupcakes or a cake.
Maybe take a spin on a Gingerbread House and make a Haunted Gingerbread House. You can use Graham Crackers or Pop Tarts in place of baking gingerbread.
