Halloween is just around the corner, and while the candy is great (who doesn’t love a good sugar rush?), we’re all about adding some movement and play into the mix! Whether your little ones are running around at a Halloween party or waiting for the next wave of trick-or-treaters, why not sneak in some fun toys that get them moving, laughing, and—bonus!—learning? Here’s our roundup of the best Halloween toys for kids that combine spooky fun with a side of skill-building.
1. Talkin' Sportz Football
What’s Halloween without a little competition? The Talkin' Sportz Football brings the party vibe to life with its playful commentary and interactive features. Not only does this toy keep kids engaged with its sports-themed voiceovers, but it’s also perfect for getting them outside and active in between candy runs. Toss it around in the yard, or set up a friendly Halloween game of touch football.
Why we love it: This toy isn’t just about fun. While they’re running around, kids are building gross motor skills and teamwork—without even realizing it! Also, it’s machine washable!
2. Halloween Bubble Machine
It’s not Halloween until there’s a bubble storm, right? Our Halloween Bubble Machine brings an extra layer of fun to any Halloween setup. Whether you’re hosting a trunk-or-treat or decking out your front yard, the continuous stream of bubbles gets kids running, jumping, and popping. Plus, it’s shaped like a festive pumpkin, making it the perfect spooky accessory for the season!
Learning factor: Bubbles might seem like pure fun, but they also help kids improve hand-eye coordination as they chase them around. And let’s be real—bubbles are the best way to sneak in some physical activity while keeping the spooky vibes going strong.
3. Hot Potato
If your Halloween party needs a quick, easy way to get kids giggling, Hot Potato is a go-to. This game is the ultimate test of fast reflexes and teamwork, and the Halloween twist makes it even better. Pass the “potato” (or whatever spooky item you choose) around before the music stops—whoever’s caught holding it when the music ends is out!
Why it’s awesome: Aside from getting kids laughing and interacting, Hot Potato helps develop coordination and social skills, since everyone has to stay on their toes and play fair. And don’t forget, it’s the perfect party icebreaker for all ages!
4. Karaoke Machine
If your little monsters love a good show, our Karaoke Machine is here to steal the spotlight. Whether they’re belting out their favorite spooky tunes or hosting a mini dance party, this machine makes Halloween unforgettable. Add a fog machine and some black lights, and you’ve got an instant Halloween concert that everyone will love.
The bonus? Karaoke is more than just a performance. It builds confidence, improves memory (hello, learning those lyrics!), and encourages self-expression. Plus, it’s a great way for kids to burn off some of that candy-fueled energy.
Spooky Fun Meets Movement
This Halloween, it’s not just about the costumes and candy. With the right toys, you can keep the kids entertained while sneaking in some developmental benefits along the way. From gross motor skills with the Talkin' Sportz Football to teamwork with Hot Potato and creative expression with the Karaoke Machine, each toy brings a little something extra to the Halloween party.
So whether you're trick-or-treating or hosting a Halloween bash, these toys are sure to be the real MVPs of the night—because what’s better than spooky fun that helps your little ones grow?
