This sweet and simple set up is perfect for an afternoon playdate with the kiddos and their buddies. Just a few snacks and crafts and your friendly ghost playdate is ready to go! As much fun as a huge Halloween party is, sometimes little ones can get overwhelmed and scared with all the creepy Halloween decorations. I wanted to keep this playdate light, bright and happy as well as keep it small. Instead of the traditional Halloween palette of orange and black, I used mostly mint in my decorations. The kids had a blast crafting and snacking...and best of all, no tears from scary decorations! Check out below how easy this is to put together!
The little guests will love picking out their very own friendly ghost, complete with an adoption certificate for the kids to fill out.

Place the adorable Halloween plush ghosts inside mint green gift bags and attach the adoption certificate to the bag using baker's twine.
These little ghosts love peeking out of the bags to see who is going to swoop them up!
The little ghostly fellow is now ready for a loving home!
This pencil eraser Halloween canvas is such a great craft idea for the kids to create at the playdate. It's simple, fun and so easy for the kids to make. Best of all, it makes adorable Halloween home decor to display throughout the month of October! Check out the tutorial HERE.
A friendly ghost playdate isn't complete without a ghostly treat! These quick and simple white chocolate brownies are sure to make the kids giggle with their silly and spooky ghost faces. Find the recipe HERE for these fun and yummy treats!
These Halloween shaped serving trays were the perfect fit to fill with popcorn and other finger foods for the kids. Boo paper plates and boo napkins were ideal ghostly tableware for the playdate. The kids loved drinking from their ghost cups to wash all those spooktacular snacks down.
I don't know a single child that doesn't love to string beads and this is a perfect activity to keep those little hands busy. Each guests loved having their own friendly ghost beading kit to make either a festive Halloween bracelet or necklace. Check out how to put these beading kits together HERE.
I placed some treats like boo lollipops and a ghost craft kit inside mint parchment bags. The kids loved licking the ghostly lollipops while putting together these darling ghost crafts.
How cute are they when they're all put together? Since they're magnetic, the kids were excited to take them home and place them on their fridges for Halloween.
We loved our friendly ghost playdate and both the moms and kids loved spending the afternoon crafting and giggling together.
