HALLOWEEN: 30+ Non-Scary Crafts, Bakes and Decorations

Halloween is quickly approaching and after the year we've all had/are having it's the perfect excuse for a happy distraction. Although it is usually a time of the year associated with being scared, gruesome finds and spooky decorations, it doesn't have to be like that. I have three young children, so am mindful of avoiding the scarier side to Halloween and instead use the opportunity to craft, bake and do fun activities that aren't too scary. If, like me, you prefer to keep Halloween a non-scary time then hopefully this blog post is filled with loads of ideas and inspiration. 

We all need something fun to focus on this year especially, so let's make Halloween a good one with pretty decorations, crafts to share with loved ones and delicious bakes for everyone! In my Halloween board on Pinterest is where you'll find all of the non-scary Halloween ideas, but for now I've collated some of my favourite ideas to make Halloween this year a fun one for everyone...
