22 Halloween Decor for Kids Ideas

Halloween is a fun time for kids. They love to dress up in costumes and go door-to-door asking for candy.

They also love to help decorate the house for Halloween.

Even though kids love to decorate the house for Halloween, there are some Halloween decorations that are too scary for kids.

If you have young children, you don’t want to put up decorations that will make them too scared to sleep at night.

You also don’t want to put up decorations that are too gory. It is important to put up Halloween decorations that are kid-friendly.

If you are looking for Halloween decoration ideas that are kid-friendly, there are plenty to choose from.

Here are 22 Halloween decor for kids ideas that you are sure to love.

1. A Spooky Tree

This 6-foot-tall tree is the ultimate Halloween decor. It’s made of a wire frame and covered in fabric, with hanging bats and a string of lights.

This tree is a great way to make a big statement in a room, and can be used for years to come.

2. A Witch’s Hat

This black, white, and gold witch’s hat is a little less scary and a lot more chic!

Hang it on your front door, or even on a wall inside your home for a fun and festive Halloween decoration.

3. A Spooky Front Door

Let your neighbors know that your home is the place to be for Halloween by hanging a festive wreath on your front door.

This one is a little bit spooky, but not so scary that it will give your little ones nightmares.

You can also hang a few bats on your door. This blogger used a free printable template and cut out her bats from black construction paper.

4. A Pumpkin House Number

This is a simple way to add a little Halloween spirit to your front porch.

Just add a pumpkin with your house number on it to your porch decor!

You could also add a pumpkin with your street number on it to a planter or to a Halloween wreath.

I found a few different ways to add your house number to a pumpkin on Pinterest.

You could use a stencil to paint your house number on a pumpkin, use a vinyl decal, or use a metal number sign.

5. A Spider Web

I love the idea of adding a giant spider web to the front yard. It’s a simple DIY project that makes a big statement.

You can make it as big or as small as you want. I love the idea of using a hula hoop to make a giant spider web.

This is a fun project to do with the kids. You can have them help you wrap the hoop with white yarn and then let them help you attach the rest of the web.

6. A Spooky Wreath

Who says wreaths are just for Christmas? This one is made with a simple wire wreath base, black tulle, and a few

Halloween-themed decorations like a spider and some eyeballs.

Hang it outside your front door or on your kid’s bedroom wall for a fun and festive touch.

Pro tip: If you’re hanging this wreath outside, make sure to secure the decorations with a hot glue gun to prevent them from falling off.

7. A Halloween Welcome

Welcome trick-or-treaters with a sweet Halloween sign.

This one is made with a wooden plaque and vinyl lettering, but you can also use a printable to create a similar look.

The sign is the perfect size to display on a porch bench or a small table near the front door.

8. A Halloween Door

A Halloween door is a classic way to decorate your home for the holiday. We love the colorful, kid-friendly decorations on this one.

The garland is made from multicolored tassels and a few felt balls, and the wreath is made from a simple foam wreath form and some felt shapes.

The bats and ghosts are made from felt and the pumpkins are made from foam.

All of these decorations are light enough to hang from a door hook, so you won’t need to worry about damaging your door.

9. A Ghost

This ghost is too cute to be scary! Hang it in a window or on the front porch to welcome trick-or-treaters.

Conclusion

This is the perfect project for a DIY novice! You’ll need a few dozen sheets of tissue paper, some string, and a pair of scissors. Cut the tissue into squares, then wrap it around a pencil or your finger to create the flower shape. Tie the string in the center and fluff the petals. Hang your flowers from a chandelier or from the ceiling in a corner of the room.
