What comes to your mind when you think of Halloween? For us, it's pumpkins, costumes, pranks, and candy! The well-known and loved tradition of celebrating Halloween in fun costumes during Halloween parties arrived in Poland from the United States and became popular at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. Halloween is celebrated on October 31st. So, we still have some time to prepare well for the celebration! We'll tell you how to prepare a successful Halloween party for children, how to decorate your home, and what to dress up as.

The recipe for a successful Halloween party for children? Interesting games and snacks in a Halloween atmosphere! If you're planning a Halloween party – decorate your home, ensure the right music, prepare attractive activities (e.g., themed games and contests), and stock up on snacks.

What games and contests can you offer children during the party? Here are a few suggestions:

• Face painting – all you need is good quality face paints.
• Painting monsters on balloons – you'll need balloons and markers.
• Making lanterns – lanterns can be made from paper, jars, or cans, decorated as you wish (use safe LED lights instead of candles for the lanterns!).
• Eating an apple against the clock, without using your hands – you can hang the apples on strings or put them in bowls of water.
• Making mummies against the clock – a game for teams of at least two people, during which children create mummies out of their friends by wrapping them in toilet paper.

Halloween snacks? Preferably with pumpkin as the main ingredient! Especially if you've already prepared pumpkin decorations and have plenty of pulp left! You can serve creamy pumpkin soup in small bowls with crispy baguettes. Easy to prepare and very popular with the youngest are pumpkin pancakes – add pumpkin puree to standard pancake batter and... done! You can also make orange pasta – sauté cooked pasta in a pan with diced pumpkin, a little cream, chopped walnuts, and your favorite spices.

Don't forget the candy! According to the rule: trick or treat – no sweets means... trouble!

Time for decorations? Time to check out the Pepco catalog! We've prepared, among other things, excellent quality ceramic Halloween figurines, paper pumpkin lanterns, and glowing cups for little (and big) fans of such gadgets. Here are the details:

• Ceramic items are mainly pumpkins and ghosts, available in various shapes and sizes; you can place them anywhere, individually or in any combination (the more diverse, the more interesting!), you can put a t-light (classic candle or LED light) into each ceramic decoration; prices of our Halloween decorations start from PLN 5;
• A paper pumpkin lantern is a must-have for every Halloween party; the spherical lantern in an intense orange color has a diameter of 20.5 cm; you can hang several pieces from the ceiling (e.g., at different heights) or side by side, creating a spatial garland; the price of a lantern is only PLN 4 each;
• LED glowing cups will serve a dual purpose: for drinking and as an eye-catching table decoration; the cups are made of solid plastic, decorated with a skull motif, and equipped with a straw matching the LED light color (various cup colors are available!); the cups have a capacity of 400ml, ø 10 cm, and height 17.5 cm; one LED cup costs PLN 10.

House decorated? Time to take care of costumes!

Choose a Halloween costume always with your child! They should feel confident and comfortable in it. Our Halloween costumes are light, fun, and... only a little "scary." We've prepared, among other things: a dinosaur cape, a bat cape or dress, and costumes with a skeleton or spiderweb pattern. All costumes are available in sizes from 3 to 8 years old and cost only PLN 30 each.
