Let Kids Help Choose Halloween Party Supplies

For kids, planning a Halloween party can be almost as fun as the party itself. Make preparing for the party a family affair. Let the kids help choose the Halloween party supplies and create their own party decorations.

If you’re feeling short on creativity, look at party planning web sites for kids Halloween party ideas. These sites can help you come up with ideas for everything from party themes, to party food and party favors. Once you have a theme, you’ll know what party supplies to purchase.

For a basic Halloween party, use a jack-o-lantern theme. At the party supply store, purchase a pumpkin pinata, orange and black crepe paper, and orange plates and cups. Help your children build a Halloween scarecrow using old clothes and a pumpkin head. Let them hang the streamers and fill the pinata with Halloween candy.

O What a Tangled Web We Weave

Spiders also make a great Halloween party theme. Create a huge spider centerpiece in the middle of the ceiling. Buy a large black helium balloon from a party supply store. Anchor it in the center of the room. Stretch eight crepe paper legs from the balloon to the ceiling. Let your kids make spider webs with string. Look at party web sites for ideas on how to make spider cupcakes and other arachno-foods.

A haunted house is a popular kids party theme. Let your kids come up with ideas on how to turn the basement or garage in to a haunted party room. Black lights, fog machines and sound effects can help create a real Halloween atmosphere. Have a butler greet Halloween guests and serve them deviled egg eyeballs off a silver platter before they tour the haunted house. You can buy plastic silver platters at party supply stores.

If you like to plan ahead and save money, too, buy next year’s party supplies when they go on sale this November.
