Who said Halloween can only be celebrated in the fall? We can also enjoy a spring version! With these fun activities, kids can dive into a colorful atmosphere with spooky characters, combining the best of both seasons.

Magical Potions

Transform traditional Halloween potions into floral potions. Use vinegar, baking soda, and bright colors like green, pink, blue, or yellow to create bubbly explosions, and add flower petals for a special and magical touch.

Pumpkin Clay Workshop

Instead of traditional autumn pumpkins, kids can create colorful spring pumpkins using vibrant-colored clay, such as pink, green, or yellow. Decorate them with paper flowers, toy insects, or butterflies.

Fantastic Characters

Invite kids to create characters and monsters using recycled toilet paper rolls. Paint them with bright colors or add floral details to give them a different and spring-like touch. Maybe a vampire with butterfly wings, a witch in a princess dress, or a mummy covered in leaves.

Ghostly Treasure Hunt

In this treasure hunt, kids must find Halloween characters hidden among flowers and butterflies. You can hide small colorful pumpkins, little ghost figures with wings, or candies wrapped in colorful paper.

Recycled Costume Parade

Instead of traditional Halloween costumes, kids should create outfits that combine the spooky with the spring-like, using recycled materials. For example, a skeleton with a flower crown and sunglasses, or a mummy wrapped in paper decorated with flower petals or twigs.

Colorful Shadow Puppets

Create silhouettes of Halloween characters using black cardstock and colored cellophane. Add spring-like details such as flowers, butterfly wings, or whatever you can think of. Kids can tell fantastic (or not-so-scary) stories using sunlight.

Floral Halloween Bingo

Create a bingo game with images of Halloween characters surrounded by spring elements, such as pumpkins decorated with flowers, ghosts wearing flower hats, and skeletons with sunglasses. Invite your kids to draw the characters and then make copies of these to create a new game made by them.

Complete the story

Invite your kids to invent fantastic or “scary” stories and add a humorous twist to each one. They can incorporate typical spring situations, like a “witches’ picnic” or a “flower-allergic ghost.” Suggest main themes like this and let your kids complete the story. Remind them to keep it as lighthearted as possible to avoid scaring anyone.

Adorable Halloween Cookies

In this activity, kids can create butter cookies shaped like pumpkins, ghosts, bats, and other classic Halloween characters, but with an adorable and spring-like twist. They will use brightly colored icing and decorations such as sugar flowers, fondant butterflies, or small edible insects.
