The internet is full of great ideas for activities to do with children under the age of 5. However, organizing those activities into a plan is something else entirely. You end up doing a craft or two and still spending too much time wondering what to do now or watching too much TV. So I’ve put together 5 days of Halloween themed activities to help you fill your days with your kids, particularly preschoolers and toddlers. Each day tries to include an art activity, craft, music/dance, game, outing, reading suggestion, video suggestion, independent play prompt to give your child, and food ideas that complement the day.

This isn’t meant to be a comprehensive list. It’s a plan. If an activity doesn’t fit your family, you can search for the one or two specific things to plug into that spot but at least you have a plan to get you started.

Make some memories for your kids and enjoy your time with your preschooler/toddler! Perhaps one or two of these will even become a family tradition.
