this year's boo baskets

September 15, 2023

a famous tradition I wanted to start for my kids and their cousins.

but nothing too extravagant - just an activity or two, and maybe a book.

aka things I’d love to have for the month of October (and our October month of play) anyway.

and because the last thing I need is a bunch of trinkets we don’t need, okay.

here’s what I’m doing this year for all the kids!

for the kindergartener:

  • this adorable name ghost gift tag

    • and wrapping the books in this ghost ribbon

    • or using this reusable ghost tote from target

  • this popular paint by stickers activity book

  • my spooky activity book

    • or this awesome highlights halloween activity book

  • weird but true: 300 halloween facts to scare you silly

    • or i spy: a spooky night

    • or pumpkin jack: a life cycle book

for the toddlers/preschoolers:

  • this adorable name ghost gift tag

    • and wrapping the books in this ghost ribbon

    • or using this reusable ghost tote from target

  • this halloween sticker book

    • or this halloween sticker book

  • there’s a ghost in this house

    • or pumpkin jack: a life cycle book

    • or i spy: a spooky night

for the baby:

  • this adorable name ghost gift tag

    • and wrapping the books in this ghost ribbon

    • or using this reusable ghost tote from target

  • first spooky words

    • or where is baby’s pumpkin?

    • or babies love halloween

  • never touch a grumpy bat!

    • or who says boo? baby’s first halloween book

    • or baby touch and feel: halloween

simple! wonderful! and no junk.

boo baskets (or, more accurately, boo books, in this case) are a fun way to indulge in some new books and activities for a few of my favorite littles. the best way to celebrate the season!
