Not-So-Spooky Halloween Party Ideas: Using Cereal!

A spooky breakfast, a Halloween party favor, and a game! 3 fun ways to use these frightful cereals in your festivities this year!

What do you do when your husband loves buying seasonal cereal for the kids? You go along with it because they are only little once. And they can have mom’s boring cereal choices the rest of the year. I remember him finding Boo Berry cereal at the commissary for $1 a box one year and brought home like 4 boxes of it ::gag:: I don’t care for sugary cereal, but the boxes are fun for Halloween so I came up with 3 not-so-spooky ways to incorporate it! What kid doesn’t like cereal?

Halloween Party Idea #1: Breakfast Cereal Bar

Set out an assortment of spooky cereals and sliced fruit! Give the fruit labels and names like monster eyes (blueberries), witch tongues (sliced strawberries) or make ghost bananas to set on top!

I sliced a banana in quarters. Length-wise and then width-wise. Then added chocolate chips!

Halloween Party Idea #2: Cereal Party Favors

My kids love these fun flavor straws. Dip them in a glass of milk and drink! They come in chocolate, cookies and cream, strawberry and other flavors. Dip them in the extra milk from your cereal for a sweet breakfast treat. I thought these would make fun party favors to I added them to a small box of cereal!

These boxes hold just enough for 1 serving and were super inexpensive to put together. A fun take-home party favor. These would be fun to pass out at class parties too!

Halloween Party Idea #3: “Don’t Eat Pete” Game

Have you played Don’t Eat Pete before? It’s a fun game that you can cater to ANY THEME. I thought a monster one would be fun for a Halloween party. Here are the rules!

Cereal works great as game markers (candy does, too!) Get the free printable game sheet below.
