Halloween activities with the Family
It was a fun-filled Halloween weekend!
We made pumpkin rice krispies treats 🎃.
My daughter Maxine and my niece, painted a wooden cupcake, and we also assembled haunted houses as a family. Which haunted house is your favorite?
Halloween at Kanga’s Indoor Playground and Cafe
I’ve wanted to check out Kanga’s in Long Island City with the family for a while now. We ended up attending their Halloween party over the weekend. They had arts and crafts, face painting, and a discovery dig activity. The indoor playground was cool and had separate fun areas for various age groups. I also appreciated that they had a small cafe to get food; nothing fancy, but it was at least something. We will be back!
Trunk or Treat at Astoria Park
We attended a Trunk or Treat at Astoria Park. It was super crowded but super cute, and my daughter got a lot of treats!
Lil Goblins at The New York Junior League
We attended the annual Lil Goblins Halloween party at The New York Junior League. The event was a lot of fun. They had a balloon artist, a magician, cookie decorating, and trick-or-treating. My daughter, Maxine, was a cute lil ballerina 🎃.
Maxi’s Trick-or-Treat Bag
I wanted to find something low-maintenance that my daughter and mom could do together this year to celebrate Halloween.
I bought the Highlights Halloween craft kit. It included cute pumpkin decorations (which we used for Maxi’s pumpkin), stickers, and a cute tote bag that Maxie could use for trick-or-treating.
Here are pictures of my mom and daughter decorating the bag together ♥️.
Here is the final product!
Hello Kitty Halloween Sticker Countdown
My daughter is obsessed with Hello Kitty and Friends Supercute Adventures. I saw this on Instagram, and I had to buy it.
It’s a ten-day countdown to Halloween, but my daughter could not wait, so we started earlier, and we are now just opening them up whenever.
Each box has a cute sticker (or page of stickers), and they are gorgeous. Also, each one is meant to be a color activity, but my daughter just wants the stickers 😆.
I have always loved Hello Kitty and Sanrio in general, so I’m enjoying the calendar as much as my daughter is.
Decorating our Pumpkins
We got two great pumpkins from Cityside Pumpkin Patch.
Check out the cute pumpkin Maxi created.
Here is the pumpkin my husband created.
Cityside Pumpkin Patch
My family and I are officially enjoying the fall season, and the countdown to Halloween has officially begun.
Last week, we went to the Cityside Pumpkin Patch in Long Island City.
The pumpkin patch also served food and drinks and had many cute and spooky areas to enjoy. They had some cool activities you could pay for, but we enjoyed the archery section, which was free with our package.
Overall a fun time!
