Easy Halloween Recipes Kids Can Make
I used to not like Halloween all that much. It was not really something we celebrated here in Australia when I was a kid, but it has gained in popularity recently, and while our family doesn’t go all out for Halloween, it’s a great excuse to get the kids into the kitchen. There are so many easy Halloween recipes kids can make!
There are a couple of thing you need when you are planning on doing some Halloween cooking with your kids.
First, be prepared for lots of bright colours, stock up on green food colouring!
And second, you’ll definitely want to grab some of those candy eyeballs (affiliate link – Aussies you can usually get them in the supermarket). At least half these recipe ideas include candy eyeballs, and, let’s face it, adding eyeballs makes just about any food into Halloween food.

There are lots of fun Halloween recipes kids can make. There are lots of sweet treats to make, as well as some fun and creepy lunch and dinner ideas and even a few health(ish) treats too. Bigger kids can make some of these all on their own, and there are lots of recipes little ones can help with too.
