Spooky season is upon us, and we’re here to share our top not-so-scary Halloween picks for little ones. Think: sensory board books and interactive activity books that we are absolutely sure will keep little hands busy! From newborns to slightly bigger readers, we’ve got something for everyone (we'll also give you the lowdown on the developmental perks of each type of book!).
For the littlest ghouls (0+)
When it comes to babies, interactive board books are an absolute must (if we do say so ourselves!). Here are our favourites for the tiniest trick-or-treaters:
Boo! Sound Board Book

Squish ‘n’ Squeeze Pumpkin
We’re sure this is the squishiest pumpkin you’ll ever meet! Help squishy Pumpkin trick-or-treat while giving him a squish!
Why sensory play matters for babies
Interactive books like these help little ones in so many ways! They build new brain pathways, develop fine motor skills, boost memory, focus, problem-solving, and support language and communication development. Sensory play also helps babies understand their emotions and learn to self-regulate. In short, sensory play = happy babies and busy, growing brains!
For slightly older monsters!
Now, we’ve covered the younger sensory board books, let’s take a look at our Halloween activity books. If you’ve got a slightly older monster—oops, we mean reader—with a creative streak, then these may be the picks for you. We’re talking colouring, crafting and games!

Why we love activity books, and you should too!
Activity books do it all; they sneakily boost fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, make children think with problem-solving and planning, and even stretch those attention spans (yes, really!). Along the way, your little ones will learn colours, shapes, and letters, express themselves, and practise keeping their emotions in check. With sneaky sensory elements tucked in, these books turn learning into a Halloween adventure of fun!
There you have it: our not-so-spooky, all-fun Halloween round-up! From babies discovering their first sounds to older ones crafting, colouring, and exploring, these books and activities will keep your little ones entertained through the spooky season.
