halloween crafts

I’ve always been a fan of all the different holidays, and Halloween is a special favourite. I love creating fun homemade decorations, dressing up and handing out candy to the neighbourhood kids. And my boys love the fun of trick-or-treating and dressing up in fun costumes just as much! Last year, we took our costume inspiration from Avengers Assemble on Netflix Canada for our costumes and dressed as Iron Man, Captain America and Black Widow.

This year, both my boys have taken their costume inspiration from video games rather than television but personally, I’m thinking dressing up as Eleven from Stranger Things would be a fun and easy DIY costume choice! A pink dress, an oversized jean jacket, a white-blonde wig and sports socks would be all I needed to showcase this character from my new favourite Netflix exclusive series.

I love celebrating almost any holiday and I’ve sometimes even been known to find obscure holidays or invent my own traditions just as an excuse to celebrate and have fun with my boys. But of all the holidays throughout the year, Halloween is easily one of my favourites. I have a tendency to go overboard with decorations, costumes, treats and food, but my boys have so much fun that I just can’t help myself. From elaborately decorated pumpkins to a yard filled with homemade Halloween décor to spook-tastic meals and treats, there are just so many easy ways to make Halloween extra festive!

And this year, Disney Junior is giving families one more way to get in the Halloween spirit with an entire month of Halloween specials! Tune into Disney Junior weeknights at 6pm EST for brand new Halloween-themed episodes of all your child’s favourite shows including Jake and the Never Land Pirates, Sofia the First, Stella and Sam and many more! And to really get your child ready for spooky fun, Disney Junior is airing Halloween episodes all day on October 30 and 31!

But that’s not all! Visit the Big Halloween Party section on the Disney Junior website to find Halloween colouring pages, fun printable crafts and even templates to carve your very own Disney Junior pumpkins! I have a feeling the Mickey Mouse pumpkin is going to be a part of our Halloween décor this year! And while you’re enjoying creating spooky decorations for your house, why not whip up a fun Halloween snack for your kids? My personal favourite is this easy Ghost Toast, especially since it’s so simple the boys can make it themselves!
