Pumpkin Shaped Treats
One of the best things about Halloween celebrations are all the tasty food. From ghoulish body parts to happy monsters, treats are the highlight of this holiday. Here are a few classic crowd pleasing pumpkin recipes:
- Try these Pumpkin Dipped Pretzels by The Spruce Eats to stuff Boo Bags or treats for the class Halloween party!
- Kids love dirt making these Pumpkin Patch Dirt Cups by I Can Teach My Child a huge hit with kids of all ages.
- Cincy Shopper made these adorable Pumpkin Rice Krispies that I know my daughter would be begging for more.
- Be the star of your neighborhood Halloween party with these Pumpkin Sugar Cookies by Eating on a Dime.
Jack-o’-Lantern Ideas
Growing up, carving jack-o-lanterns was one of my very favorite Halloween traditions. Even before kids I always made sure to make that happen before Halloween night. The pumpkin carving standards have gone way up since Pinterest but there are still tons of really cute ideas for all skill levels. Check out this link from Better Homes and Gardens for some really great ideas!
- Jack Skellington (large circles for eyes and skinny wide sewn mouth)
- Black Cat (make sure you have paint, pipe cleaners and cardboard for the ears)
- Fairy House Jack-o-Lantern (carve rounded door and windows)
- Witch (use a carrot or the stem for the nose)
- Harry Potter
- Teal Pumpkin for children with food allergies
Pumpkin Crafts and Decorations
My decorations now all fit in two tubs (plus the huge Halloween street sign and tomb stones) which is quite condensed from a few years ago. I love decorating for Halloween but now love adding in more crafty decorations. My daughter loves doing holiday inspired crafts and admiring them throughout the season.
- Pumpkin Flower Arrangement (scoop out a pumpkin or (better yet) use a Styrofoam pumpkin and add silk flowers to add fall colors for the whole season.
- These Pumpkin Yarn Pom Poms by Not Quiet Suzy Homemaker are super easy and only require yarn! Make them super quick with this pom pom maker.
- I love the look of pumpkins but am not a fan of orange in my decor so this Chalky White Pumpkin Wreath by Paint Yourself a Smile is perfect!
- For a modern twist on your pumpkin decor try scooping out mini pumpkins in white and light green and planting succulents.
