I feel like holidays can get so expensive but they really don’t have to be. It can be hard to not want to go do all the things with your kids but if you are looking for inexpensive ways to make Halloween fun for kids I have got you covered!
5 Inexpensive Ways To Make Halloween Fun For Kids
Pumpkin Carving: You can easily grab a pumpkin at the grocery store or a local pumpkin patch and carve or paint it with your kids. This is NOT expensive and very fun for kiddos to do.
Check out the free events in your area: Living in Dallas there are TONS of free family events at churches, schools, etc.
Go to free pumpkin patches: I know a lot of pumpkin patches can cost money to get into and it’s usually fairly reasonable but so many are free! They may be smaller but honestly, your kids won’t even care. They will just be happy to run around with the pumpkins. A lot of churches have them!
Make Halloween treats: I love to peruse Pinterest and find a good Halloween treat to make with or for the kids! My kids also love a snack tray! Hit up Trader Joe’s and make a fun fall/Halloween-themed snack board for the kiddos!
Boo your neighbors: This does cost money but you can go as big or small as you want. Hit up the Target dollar spot or the dollar store and get some fun treats! Leave them on a friend’s or neighbor’s porch. Maybe include some fun Halloween treats and a special craft!

I am going to celebrate Halloween for the first time in Singapore. I am planning to make some treats and boo my neighbors.

Painting pumpkins is more fun than carving them for certain age groups. They turn out cute too.
I love these ideas. I have never gone to pumpkin patch before. To be honest, I don’t even know we have any. I’m sure we do.

Hhhmmm….booing a neighbour sounds a very good idea. We will get very many friends, during that time. Happy Halloween to you!
Painting a pumpkin instead of carving it is a great idea for younger kids.
