Celebrating Baby's first holidays is exciting and Halloween is especially fun because you get to dress them up. Baby is still little and doesn't quite get what all the fuss is about so keep their first Halloween party simple. I've been thinking about this a lot lately since this will be my son's first Halloween. Here are a few baby-friendly ideas to help with your planning!
Baby's First Halloween
You've gone to the pumpkin patch and have Baby's costume. Now it's time to start planning a party! One question you might be asking yourself is whether to go with scary or cute. When it comes to little ones, try to stick with cute until they get a little older (or keep the scary stuff for outside decor like I do).

Pumpkin Treats
It can be tricky to find baby-friendly treats to serve, but pumpkin yogurt is sure to be a hit! I mixed together one cup of vanilla yogurt, a half cup of canned pumpkin puree and a sprinkling of pumpkin spice. Serve in little containers with faces drawn on them or other festive cups or bowls.

Babies like to play and explore new toys. This set of Baby's First Halloween Toys keeps the holiday fun rather than scary. Each one makes a noise making them good for sensory play.

Bewitching Pumpkin Head
Help Baby decorate her first pumpkin with fun push pin pieces like this Mrs. Potato Head Witch pumpkin decorating set. Or draw silly faces. Or find other creative ways to decorate your pumpkins together. Carving can wait until they get bigger.

Pumpkin Rubber Ducky
Halloween themed rubber duckies can be used as an alternative to bobbing for apples. Use a baby tub with low water so the little ones can grab one out. Or have duck races. Or it can be a cool party favor.

Halloween Spaghetti
Cooked pasta can be used for more sensory play or cut up into small bite-sized pieces for older babies. Make Halloween colored noodles to be extra festive. If using in a sensory bin you could add fake bugs, pipe cleaners, etc.

High Chair Banners
You'll want to take lots of pictures to remember their first Halloween party. Whether it is a birthday party or not, decorating with a pumpkin high chair banner makes a great photo prop!

Mummy Sippy Cup
Decorate Baby's sippy cup to look like a mummy by wrapping gauze around it. I used a self sticking wrap which made it super simple. Just wrap and draw on a face. This one is happy!
