HALLOWEEN ACTIVITIES FOR PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN

EASY HALLOWEEN ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

Combine play time and learning with our fun Halloween sensory activities that encourage exploration, discovery, and curiosity! Kids love anything with a theme and themes make learning new ideas and reviewing old ideas new and exciting each time. Join us each holiday for new takes on old classics and see how we add fun themes to all our holiday activities!

Halloween activities don’t have to be hard to set up or expensive. I love the dollar store for seasonal items. Tip: When the holiday is done, I store items in a zip lock bag and place them in a plastic bin for next year!

I love sensory play for my son and he loves all the hands-on fun! Read all about why sensory play is so important in our Ultimate Sensory Play Resource Guide!
