Unleash your child’s imagination with our free Halloween colouring pages. These spook-tacular designs feature everything from pumpkins to friendly ghosts, making them perfect for children who love to colour. You can download the pages and print them at home, so your child can get started right away.

Colouring is not only a great way for children to express themselves but can also provide a calming and therapeutic activity. With these Halloween-themed sheets, your little ones can explore the fun side of spooky season!
Create your own Spooky Bottles using everyday household items! This craft is a fantastic way for children to explore sensory play. By filling bottles with materials such as coloured water, glitter, or small Halloween trinkets, your child can create a mesmerising sensory bottle to shake and enjoy. These bottles can be used as decorations or simply for fun!
Why we love it:
This craft is perfect for developing fine motor skills and creativity. Plus, it’s a fantastic sensory activity, especially for children who enjoy visual and tactile stimulation.
Create some hungry monsters use your imagination to make their favourite food!
For a nature-inspired craft, our Autumn Leaf Sensory Bag is a wonderful activity for younger children. This craft involves collecting autumn leaves and sealing them in a clear plastic bag filled with water and glitter. Your child can squish, move, and explore the beautiful textures and colours of autumn without any mess!
Why we love it:
This craft not only connects your child with nature but also offers a sensory-rich experience that’s easy to create at home. It’s a great way to celebrate the beauty of autumn while keeping your little one engaged in safe and mess-free play.
