23 Cutest Halloween Movies For Toddlers
From one busy mom to another, here are some toddler-friendly Halloween movies that will make your family’s spooky season extra fun!
Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays, but once I had kids, I knew I needed to find a way to keep the spooky fun without all the frights.
My little ones love pumpkins, costumes, and treats—but they’re not quite ready for the creepy, crawly, ghostly ghouls of scarier movies just yet.
So, each year, I make it a point to find the cutest, most heartwarming Halloween movies that are perfect for toddlers.
Before I dive into the list, I’ll share a little tradition we started last year. Every October, I create a “Spooky Movie Night” basket filled with goodies for the kids—think mini popcorn bags, candy corn, and toddler-sized Halloween pajamas.
After the sun sets, we turn off the lights, cozy up under our pumpkin-patterned blankets, and press play on one of these adorable films. The excitement in their eyes is all I need to know that these toddler-friendly Halloween flicks are a hit!
So, if you’re looking to plan your own movie night or want to keep the Halloween spirit alive without the scares, these 23 cute Halloween movies will keep your toddlers entertained and ready for more fun!
