Turning Your Playground into a Halloween Delight

We have entered the month of October- it’s officially Halloween season. Families, particularly kids, will look for spooky things to see and do. Why not transform your play area into a haunted attraction?

When it comes to decorative ideas, the possibilities are endless. Here are some you may consider.

Transforming Your Children’s Play Area for Halloween

These DIY ideas will transform your playground into a Halloween delight without much effort:

Spooky Spirit Swings

Secure white sheets onto the chains of your swings, ensuring they are high enough so as not to cause safety issues. Draw spooky faces on them. The idea is for them to look like floating ghosts as your child swings back and forth.

The Haunted Trampoline

A trampoline’s solid walls make it ideal for decorating. You can hang cobwebs along the edges, illuminate with spooky lights, and add other Halloween items.

·  Safety note: Hang all décor outside rather than inside the trampoline to ensure it doesn’t interfere with jumping. A spooky appearance may entice multiple jumpers, but jumping solo ensures safety.

Monster Mouth Entrances

You can transform the entrance of a playhouse, tunnel, or slide by cutting monster teeth out of poster board and attaching them to the opening. This will give your playground an extra-spooky appearance.

Halloween Decorations for Kids’ Ride-On Cars

Just like adults decorate their cars for Halloween, kids can decorate ride-on cars to celebrate the spooky season. If you search the internet, you will find endless possibilities, ranging from small pumpkin stickers to elaborate skeleton passengers.

·  Safety Tip: Ensure decorations are well fastened and will not interfere with the car's wheels when in motion.

Playground Concepts

Playgrounds are typically surrounded by a sandy or rubbery area that can be decorated in line with various themes as follows:

·  A Haunted Graveyard: Create cardboard or foam tombstones and scatter them throughout the external area.

·  A Pumpkin Patch: Decorate with pumpkin patch elements like hay bales, pumpkins, and scarecrows.

·  General Spookiness: Your playground can feature any decorations you wish, including ghosts, goblins, spiders, witches, and spooky inflatables.

Consider a Party

A decked-out playground can also be the ideal place for a Halloween party. Kids can have fun playing on the playground equipment. You may also consider additional activities, like:

·  Bobbing for apples

·  A skeleton bone scavenger hunt

·  Spooky storytelling

·  A costume parade and contest
