If your kids are as excited about Halloween (already!) as mine, check out the fun and not-too-scary DIY Halloween craft kit from CMP favorite KiwiCo (formerly Kiwi Crate) that will keep little hands busy and out of the Halloween candy stash. Even if you’re not quite ready to drag up the Halloween decor from the basement just yet.

Kiwi Co offers a ton of easy Halloween crafts for kids of all ages, from bubbling cauldrons to puking pumpkins that help kids develop STEAM skills.There’s even a 3-pack Halloween bundle allowing kids to make a light-up haunted house (below), Halloween luminaries (shown above), and a cute trick-or-treat candy tote.

There are also kits that allow kids to create their own Halloween costumes and accessories, while getting an educational experience from it.

The kits would also make a great gift for an October birthday, or a sweet delivery for that special niece or nephew who lives too far away for you to see in person on Halloween. Whether you dig into the candy yourself while the kids are distracted is totally up to you.
