Kids Spooky Halloween!

The sign of Halloween goodies in the stores could only mean one thing...fall has arrived!

This is my absolute favorite season and with all of the fun decorations, yummy pumpkin spice smells, delicious lattes and plaid sweaters how it could anyone not love it? 

We are usually a pretty laid back family for Halloween, but this year we opted to welcome October with a fun after school "Trick of Treat" bar. I surprised the kids with a cute Halloween setup! I found so many adorable items at Oriental Trading, if you are planning a party then check out their site for so many fun party details. I had a bit too much fun shopping, so many cute things to choose from.

I love this creepy netted cloth, it was perfect as a backdrop and was really easy to use. I liked this much better than trying to work with the cobweb material, that stuff gets stuck to everything! I started layering by hanging this "Trick or Treat" sign and the printed Halloween fans. I really liked how the backdrop turned out and when the party is over you can leave it up and it still looks great as decoration! 

I added in a few other supplies I found from Oriental Trading like the spooky lit ghost tree and cobweb candle sticks. My kids loved these since they could light up. I found some cute glitter bat clips at Target and added those to the tree. 

To up the spooky factor I added the candy eyeballs, and potion bottles that I found at Target. My kids are still young, so this was spooky enough for them. 

To make it simple (because I am really all about that) I chose yummy Hostess cupcakes and added simple toppers. I saw these stickers at Oriental Trading and knew my daughter would love them. I used them to make the toppers by adding the sticker to purple cardstock circles and attaching them to paper straws cut to length. Put the cupcakes in a cute wrapper, and if it weren't for the Hostess signature frosting swirl you would almost think they were homemade. 

Don't forget the pie! So popular for the fall season and really delicious. I took black mesh fabric and tied around each pie tin. Set on a beautiful cake plate and you have a simple and easy look, perfect! 

I found these darling milk glass bottles at Target and my kids are obsessed! Aren't these fun? I love the cute Halloween graphic. 

No gathering is complete with out a little goodie for the kids. I picked up some candy stickers to take home, I figured better a sticker than the real thing. My kids are still pretty young, so thankfully we never end up with a huge amount of candy. 

Halloween is going to be here before you know it. How do you like to celebrate? Do you lean more toward spooky or cute and fun? 

Happy Halloween! Enjoy the season, filled with candy and lots of Spooktacular fun!
