Free Halloween Calm &Fun Kit for Kids: Sensory-Friendly Printables for a Peaceful Celebration
🎃 🌿 Because Halloween doesn’t have to mean chaos, meltdowns, or overwhelm.
👻 Why Halloween Can Feel Overwhelming for Some Kids
Halloween is full of fun and excitement — costumes, parties, sugar, and surprises!
But for children with ADHD, autism, or sensory sensitivities, that same excitement can turn into anxiety and overload.
Too much noise, unfamiliar routines, and unexpected transitions can leave kids feeling dysregulated. That’s why I created the Halloween Calm & Fun Kit — a free printable set of tools that keeps the celebration joyful and calm.

🍬 What’s Inside the Halloween Calm & Fun Kit
This free kit was designed for parents, teachers, and therapists who want structure, calm, and connection during the holiday.
Here’s what’s included:
🕯️ The Calm Plan Page
A simple page to help kids name their feelings and choose calming strategies:
“When I feel excited, I can take deep breaths.”
“When I feel overwhelmed, I can take a quiet break.”
🎭 Low-Stimulation Choice Board
A gentle visual with calming Halloween activity ideas like:
-
Read a Halloween story
-
Make a pumpkin craft
-
Decorate cookies quietly

Take a movement break
🧠 Halloween Feelings Check-In
A fun, visual way for kids to express how they’re feeling — happy, silly, tired, scared, calm, or overwhelmed.
🌙 Calm Corner Mini Poster
A small printable reminder that says:
“It’s okay to take a break.”
Perfect for calm-down spaces, classrooms, or therapy rooms.
