Get ready to gather ’round for a spellbinding soirée filled with giggles, ghoulish delights, and eight-legged wonders! This spider Halloween party for kids is all about the cute side of spooky: cute-as-a-button spiders and treats worth casting a spell for.

Grab your broomsticks and don your sparkly pointy hats, because in a cozy corner of the mystical forest (or in the comfort of your own home!) a coven of wee little witches is brewing up a cauldron of cuteness. With wands that sparkle like starlight and potions that bubble with laughter, these enchanting youngsters are ready to put the “trick” in trick-or-treat. Every cackle is music to our ears, every pumpkin is a potential spell ingredient, and every spider is a fuzzy friend.

Keep reading for the full tour: the treats buffet, a Halloween party table for the kids, a spooky mantel, and a free printable set that ties it all together. Want more Halloween ideas? Peek at my kids’ Halloween play date or the grown-up version, Spiders and Spirits ladies’ night.

Spider Halloween Party Theme

Halloween is a favorite holiday here. I love decorating and throwing a little play date with my kids to savor the season.

Last year I collaborated with two local Minnesota party lovers, Sprinkles & Confetti and Legally Crafty to style a Kids Halloween play date and we’re back with more fun and easy Halloween ideas this year! 

All my parties start with a general design direction, and for this one we stuck to traditional colors of orange, black, and white. I love the pops of bright orange alongside the otherwise monochromatic color scheme.

We thought spiders would be a fun theme, and I was so excited when I found the cutest, silliest spider graphic. No scaries here for the littles! I set right to work creating a set of Halloween party printables, and it’s your lucky day because I’m sharing them with you for free.

Spiders are easy decor pieces to implement this time of year, and you can find them everywhere. I found a ton of awesome ones in our color scheme at the Dollar Tree (you’ll probably want to head to the store), plus these itty bitty totally realistic ones on Amazon. My kids loved them all, and I’m certain I will be finding these spiders all over my house for months to come! Eek!

Halloween Party Treats

We set out a treats buffet on my large kitchen island because what’s Halloween without a little sugar? We kept it simple with popcorn, cake, cookies, and Halloween-themed chocolate-covered pretzel rods.

Throw some M&M’s on top of the popcorn for a festive sweet and savory mix, and serve it up in a spiderweb bowl. Our little friend the skeleton (similar) sure was enjoying it!

The Spiderweb Cake

For the cake, we went with a simple spiderweb design and added a few of those Amazon spiders on top. This is a grocery store bakery cake that we had custom-made, and it turned out amazing! There’s no need to spend a fortune on the treats.

Custom Halloween Sugar Cookies

Custom sugar cookies are always delightful, and these were no exception. I love how Lisa recreated the favor tags on the cookies, and they were a huge hit with the kids (scroll for pics of my sweet guys enjoying their treats). If you are local to the Minneapolis, Minnesota area, you have to check out Cookies And More By Lisa.

A Halloween Charcuterie Board

We put together the cutest Halloween charcuterie board for our party, with sweet and savory treats. Start with cheese puff balls and Oreos, then add gummy worms, white chocolate Reese’s, gummy eyeballs, jelly beans, and candy corn. So yummy!

Spider Venom and Bat Brew

You’ll want to serve your little ghouls something to wash it down. These orange drinks bring a pop of color, and the kids got a kick out of drinking Spider Venom and Bat Brew. A spooky name does half the work: plain orange drinks became potions, and the same trick works on any treat on the table.

I love how printables can dress up a simple drink and bring the theme into the food and beverage selections. The bottle wraps are part of the free set below.

A Halloween Party Table for Kids

Set a party table for the kids to sit down and enjoy their treats. This table was a breeze to put together with Halloween party supplies from Sprinkles & Confetti. We started with a white tablecloth and a fun spiderweb table runner, a dollar spot find from years past.

You can use a manual balloon pump to blow up a few balloons for a fun centerpiece. We placed a sign and a couple of spiders to complete the look, and a ghost mason jar of forks makes it easy for the kids to grab one. I love how the black, orange, and spiderweb-print balloons float above the table.

The Place Settings

Each place setting had a custom placemat, which was actually created for a Halloween ladies’ night but works perfectly for the kids’ table too. A set can be printed at Staples. Add in some layered dinner and dessert plates, a drink cup, and a napkin.

For a little extra decor, we inflated a huge Halloween balloon that floated in the corner.

Halloween Mantel Decor with a DIY Spiderweb

We thought it would be fun to decorate another spot in my home. The great room leads right into the kitchen, which is the perfect place to play and then enjoy some treats.

The mantel is ready for Halloween with a fun printable “Trick or Treat” banner. I added a couple of tissue tassels to each side to give it a finished look. You can either buy these pre-made or make them yourself. (This was when we first moved in, before the TV went up above the fireplace.)

Legally Crafty created a fantastic DIY spiderweb, the focal point for our display. Add in some other Halloween decor such as skulls, pumpkins, and flowers in a vase, and the look is complete. For more printable decor, grab my free printable Halloween signs.

Halloween Party Favors for Kids

When it was time to say farewell, we sent our little boo crew home with slime party favors. Slime is always a hit with the kids, and a printable tag makes it feel like part of the party instead of an afterthought.

The favor tags in the free printable set are 2.5×2.5″ and come in two designs: a friendly spider and “Thanks for joining the Boo Crew,” which is the one you see here. Print them, trim them, and tape or tie one onto each favor. It’s the same trick Lisa used on the sugar cookies, so the treats on the table and the goodies going home match.

Slime is just one idea. Any small toy or treat works the same way, and one little tag turns it into a Halloween party favor your guests will remember.
