Are you looking for super easy Halloween party decorations and fun Halloween activities for kids?
Decorations you might even be able to make with your kids together?
Then you are in the right place.
I will show you how cheap and easy it can be to create your own Halloween decoration together with your kids and have a good time with these spooky Halloween activities.
Let’s dive right in.
Easy DIY Halloween Party Decoration
Halloween is around the corner and for right now it doesn’t look like it’s going to be a “normal” Halloween how we used to it. Nevertheless, it does not mean we can not have fun enjoying this time of the year.
Therefore I will show you super easy and cheap ways how to create your own spooky Halloween decoration.
Most likely you will have most of your items already in your house. Isn’t that great?
As most of you know by now I love kid’s projects which are super fast to set up with items from the households and are at the same time adjustable to different age groups but still interesting for everyone.
Because let’s be honest in a household with 3 young children all it counts is surviving the easiest way while engaging your kids in fun no-screen activities without having a big mess or headache afterward!
So let’s take a look at our super easy and cool Halloween kids party decoration:
Spooky ghosts drink cups

My son’s birthday party was a Halloween-themed event. To decorate the table I used these super simple ghost drink cups I made myself together with my children.

Tips
- I used the backside of the cups to write the guest’s name on it to make a seating arrangement.
- My toddlers wanted to help me with this activity. I draw their outline and then colored the inside for me.
- Younger toddlers can participate as well. Just let them use a cup and draw on it. They will have fun!
- Ghosts drink cups can also be used for Halloween bowling or as a drinking game for grown-ups.
After our table was set I wanted to create a fun Halloween garland for our party.
DIY Napkin Ghost Garland
Materials
- napkins
- marker or glue eyes
- string
- cotton balls
My oldest son and his friends helped me create this super fun and colorful Halloween ghost garland. Here is how we did it:
Instructions
Step 1: Cut napkins
- We cut our napkins into 4 squares. That was big enough for our cool party ghosts. I chose colorful napkins but if you like a more classic ghost look simply use plain white paper napkins.
Step 2: Create ghosts
- Afterward, we used cotton balls and placed them in the center of our cut napkin. Then we tied it with the string. Leave some space between the next ghost and repeat the process.
Step 3: Draw faces
- Your garland is nearly finished now, just simply take a marker and paint eyes on your little ghosts. If you have craft eyes at home use them and just glue them on.
Step 4: Hang them up
- After you are finished with your easy DIY project just simply hand your napkin ghost garland up.

Time for cake and some fun Halloween party entertainment. This year I decided to make some spooky monster cakes.
I m not very talented when it comes to baking but I wanted to do something fun for my son’s Halloween birthday party.
Check out our other Halloween activities next. Let’s start with our popular Monster Crafts, Bat Pencil Eraser Stamps, Pumpkin Art Projects, and our other 25 Halloween Activities for Kids.
Monster Cake
For his two monster cakes, I chose his favorite try cake and simply decorated them with white icing and black spooky sprinkles and orange icing, and monster eyes.
If you can not find orange icing, just use the white icing and add orange food coloring.
But since the kids wanted to be entertained at the party I decided to bake cupcakes as well and let them decorate them by themselves.
Monster Cup Cake Fun
Simply bake your preferred cupcakes and provide Halloween-themed cake decoration.
I made green and purple icing for them with food coloring and had monster eyes, different kinds of Halloween sprinkles, m&m’s, and candy corn for them.
For our monster cupcakes, we use this delicious Carrot Cake Muffin Recipe.
They were a hit! The kids loved making their own monster cupcakes and eating them of course!
After the kids were done having cake I prepared a spooky Halloween scavenger hunt for them.
Halloween Scavenger Hunt
For this super cool Halloween scavenger hunt I created a couple of free printables and added some twists to them.
It is a combination of an American scavenger hunt and a German “Schnitzeljagdt”. Also, it is adjustable to different age groups and has an empty template as well, so you can adjust it to your family’s needs.
You can find the full instruction and free printables here.
After all, our Halloween party was a full success and I hope these Halloween party ideas for kids inspired you!
