I love sharing books with my kids, snuggling down and sharing a story has to be one of the nicest bits of parenting, right? Finding books that interest your child is really important if you want them to love books as much as you do and my kids have always loved a book with a theme!
With Halloween on the way I thought I’d share some Halloween books for kids but as Crafts on Sea often has stuff for younger kids rather than teenagers I thought some not so spooky Halloween books might be in order, after all no one wants the fun of sharing a book together ruined by your child being scared by it, or ending up having a nightmare.

Not Too Spooky Halloween Crafts
This stained glass pumpkin suncatcher has been hugely popular over the years and is a fun way to teach colour mixing too.
Monster crafts are great for kids to make because of course there’s no ‘correct’ way to do them, just go with how you feel! Check out our paper bowl monster craft for some decorating ideas.
Finally this sweet paper bag witch craft is one of my favourites for Halloween as she makes a great puppet and you can play with her!
