Looking for a Halloween activity that doubles as breakfast? Set out donuts and a few candy toppings, and let the kids turn them into vampires and monsters. It is the simplest activity, but so much fun, and it tastes good too. My kids absolutely loved it.
What You Need for Halloween Donut Faces
- Donuts: make them with my Krispy Kreme copycat doughnuts or buy some. I bought the ones pictured because it was a busy week, but homemade does taste better!
- Plastic fangs
- M&M’s and white candy melts
- Sprinkles, food markers and frosting, so the kids can make their faces as fun or as scary as they want
How to Make Scary Face Donuts
- Make or buy your donuts.
- Lay the basics out on plates so the kids can get started right away.
- Set out the fangs, M&M’s, candy melts, sprinkles, food markers and frosting.
- Let the kids get creative and decorate their donuts.
Tips for a Halloween Donut Decorating Party
- Have it ready when they wake up. It makes a fun surprise Halloween breakfast.
- Store-bought donuts are fine on a busy week.
- Give them options. Sprinkles, food markers and frosting let every kid make their own monster.
A Halloween Book to Read Along
The story we read for this was Vampire Baby, a story about a little boy who is convinced his baby sister is a vampire. Too cute, and perfect for our little family since our baby sister was starting to teethe a little!
