Before having kids, Halloween was just a so-so holiday that really only served to pave the way for Christmas (in my biased opinion, at least ;-)). But AFTER having kids, Halloween became so much more! Kids LOVE Halloween and it can easily turn into one of those holidays that is never forgotten…regardless of the time of year. And that’s exactly the case with these fun Halloween books for kids.

They’re perfect for getting excited in September and October, but really you’ll probably find yourself reading them all year long!

There are appearances from a lot of the regular favorites – the Berenstain Bears, the Little Blue Truck, and Pete the Cat. And also some new favorites that are great enough to stand on their own.

No matter which of these Halloween books you pick, your kids will love them and they will certainly elevate an already fun and exciting holiday!

One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is all the fun crafts that I get to do with my kids. Whether to use for decorations or save for gifts, it’s such a great way to be festive and make the most of the season. Which is what makes these DIY Christmas ornament kits for kids so awesome.

They come with all the supplies your child will need to complete a Christmas ornament and then you can save it to use as a gift, or decorate your own tree with them!

But more importantly, this is such a fun way to spend a holiday afternoon with the kids…and you don’t need to pull out all of your own supplies. These will come with everything.

And if you use an Advent calendar like we do, these are PERFECT fillers that go beyond just candy or trinkets.

I hope you get a chance to try one of these craft kits! Have a fun and happy holiday season!
