36 Best Halloween Toys for Kids of All Ages

They don't have to know about The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to get a kick out of pretending to ride a spooky stallion into the night. They just have to plop themselves on this steed and start bouncing away, which also works on their gross motor coordination. Ages 18 months+

They won't complain about jumping in the bath to wash off all that face paint and hair color when they have these bath bombs to look forward to. Each of the six bombs comes with a different scent and has a surprise Halloween-themed toy inside. The bombs also turn the water into a bubble bath!

What can be cuter than the flocked Calico Critters? Seeing them all dressed up for Halloween! This set comes with five different animal figures in unique Halloween costumes (gotta love that Frankenstein-esque dog!), plus accessories like treat baskets and sweets. The costumes can also be removed. Ages 3+

Exploding Kittens is already a kind of irreverent card game, so it's a natural fit to come up with a zombified version for Halloween. In this edition, all players (alive or dead) stay in the game until the very end, and there's a new Zombie Kitten Card that lets players bring someone back from the dead. Ages 7+

Even though the "beanie bubble" is over, Ty fans still find the Beanie Boos irresistible! Halloween is the perfect reason to add the six-inch Mumford the Mummy to the collection. It's a two-for-one, because Mumford always keeps his friend spider with him. Ages 3+

Mad Libs haven't changed since they were invented, but they still manage to make kids laugh! This book comes with 21 Halloween-themed stories to fill in (and might even get them to learn more vocabulary). Ages 6+

After all these years, the squishy trend shows no signs of slowing down. These six Halloween squishies are the perfect way to add to dose of Halloween fun into any collection. Ages 3+

This toy does double-duty: It blows bubbles, much to the endless delight of children, and it also lights up, which gives an additional layer of safety while trick-or-treating. It comes with its own bubble solution, too.

Kids go crazy for Squishmallows, the toy they can snuggle with, use as a pillow and collect. This pumpkin will look right at home in Halloween display, but it's not too frightening for the little ones. They come in several Halloween styles, including a winking bat, a witch cat and a devil ghost. Ages 2+

If kids love the silly, fun Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza card game, they'll love having a Halloween edition. It's mostly played the same (which is one of those easy-to-learn, easy-to-pick-up-and-put-down games), but the art has Halloween-themed pictures and a couple of special thematic action cards. Ages 7+

If you're looking for goodie bag or spooky basket fillers, these stamps are just the thing. They come in a set of 24, which is great for class parties or handouts, and kids can use them to DIY their own treat bags! Ages 3+

The dark owl makes this at-home pinball game spooky enough for a Halloween gift, but it's not so tied to Halloween that you have to put it away on November 1. Plus, all the shooting and tilting they'll have to do to get the balls in the correct slots will help them with their fine motor coordination. Ages 4+

This coffin comes packed with 13 layers of ooey-gooey fun. Kids have to dig through sticky spider webs, create a squishy brain and more to find the Monster's treasure. The monster pops out of the coffin, which gives kids a fun, frightful start. Ages 5+

Get all the Sanderson Sisters for one price. The nearly four-inch figurines are each holding an item (yep, Mary has cheese puffs), and they each come in their own case.

They may look like regular dinosaur bones — but they're fierce! These glow-in-the-dark dinos hiss, growl, roar and even pass gas depending on how kids interact with them. Kids can also tame them, too, but where's the fun in that? Ages 5+

If you're having a kids' party and want a quick Halloween game, this monster bowling set is thematic without being scary. In fact, the monsters are so cute, you can probably get away with keeping this out year-round. Ages 2+

At less than 400 pieces, this set is just the right amount of challenge. And when they've finished with it, it'll be the perfect piece to add to your Halloween decorations. If they're Minecraft fans, too, you might want to consider The Pumpkin Farm set for more autumnal fun. Ages 9+

For some kids, stickers are just the ultimate treasure, and they can't get enough. Put a Halloween twist on their obsession with this set, which comes with 75 cutesy puffy stickers with Halloween themes. In addition, there are activity pages with mazes, drawings and search-and-finds for them to use. Ages 3+

Friendly ghost or scary ghost? Why choose? Flipping this inside out will take you from one to the other, depending on your mood. (And the angry ghost even glows in the dark!) It's an oddly soothing thing to flip over and over. You can get other Halloween flip plushes, too, like a devil and angel or a pumpkin and spider. Ages 3+

For the littlest ones, this set comes with four plush stuffies that can all be stored in a zippered pumpkin. But each one has a "trick" of its own: The candy corn crinkles, the cat meows, the spider rattles and the ghost squeaks.
