Do you decorate your house for Halloween? Here are some fun ideas to do with your children/grandchildren!

A HALLOWEEN TREE

Who says trees have to just be for Christmas?! I found this small, black tree at Hobby Lobby years ago. Halloween had passed, so it was a great deal! I wrapped orange lights around it, and put our Halloween books out next to it. I love it!

FUN CRAFTS!

As a mom of 5 boys, I’ve always loved anything that captures their hand and footprints at different ages. I got the idea from a friend, and I did it with my first four in October 2010 (when #4 was only 3 months old). So when #5 made his arrival 10 year later, I had to do it for him too. It’s so simple! You just need some construction paper, googly eyes, and Halloween theme ribbon.

Happy Halloween! 🎃
