If simple and fun activity ideas for kids are your vibe, you’re in the right place!

For Halloween salt painting, make a design with glue. Pour salt on top and shake off excess. Wait a few minutes to dry. Tap watercolor paint on top to paint. It’s so fun and magical watching the colors spread.

He was so focused on not dropping that spider!

This is one of those games that looks too simple to work, then your kids are requesting to play it daily. It gets way more competitive every time than I thought it would!

This color scavenger hunt cost $0 and turned our regular walk into a mission.

All it took was a strip of cardboard, markers, and a handful of clothespins. I drew a few colors on the board before we left. My kids looked for items of those colors and clipped their nature nature findings onto the board.

Save this for your next walk and follow for more low-prep activities like this one.

Baking soda, vinegar, and every container I can find😉

Comment POTION and I’ll send you links to everything we used- the bin, squeeze bottles, and these large plastic spiders you guys sell out every year!

I fill the containers with baking soda, a drop of liquid watercolor (washable paint works too), glitter, and whatever Halloween trinkets are floating around house. Then I hand my kids squeeze bottles of vinegar and get out of the way.

They erupt everything first. Then they just keep going. Mixing, pouring, and making “witches potion”, which is what they call this activity now.

The best part? It all stays in the bin.

I’m Brittany, former teacher and mom of 3. I share the low-prep stuff that still works past the toddler years. Save this to try and stick around if you want more ideas like this.

Bringing Halloween magic into your home this season doesn't have to be complicated.

This is one of my kids' favorite October activities, and it takes less than 5 minutes to set up. All you need is tape and a permanent marker.

Draw a spider, a ghost, a pumpkin, candy, and anything else Halloween related on one long strip of tape and stick it up on the wall. Then draw the same pictures on tiny pieces of tape and hide them around the house. The job: find the pieces around the house, then run and match it to the one on the wall.

My kids go crazy for this every single October, and less than 5 minutes of prep is all it takes.

Save this one for the next rainy afternoon or the next time you need a little Halloween magic, and follow along for more simple activities like this all season.

Six years of this page and I have tried a truly embarrassing number of activities.

Some took longer to set up and lasted four minutes.

Some I planned, bought all the supplies for, and never actually did.

And a few my kids have asked for so many times that I now buy the supplies in bulk.

That last group is short. It's five things.

Salt. Cups. Baking soda. Tape. Foil.

They cost almost nothing. Most of them are already in your house. And between them they've gotten us through rainy days, long weekends, and every four o'clock that felt like it would never end.

Save this for your next Target run, and send it to the friend who's about to buy another activity kit she won't open.

If you want the whole list of activities we do repeatedly, comment PLAY and I'll send you 50 ideas!
