I cannot believe that Halloween is already next week! On the other hand, I’m so excited to take Charlie and Claire trick or treating and to have some candy of my own! ;)  I’ll confess – I’m a total chocolate girl and my faves have always been Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kat bars, Watchamacallit, Snickers, and the list goes on! ;)

Ice cubes with small pink spiders inside are scattered on a white surface. A few cubes are in a round glass with a straw. Black plastic spiders are placed nearby, and an ice cube tray is partially visible.

If you’re looking for some EASY last minute Halloween ideas for your party or just want to add some fun to your child’s day, look no further! This DIY is seriously so easy but also so perfect for adding just a little something extra! No need to break the bank or your back over ice cubes! ;)

A person in a pink and white striped shirt pours a pink drink from a carafe into a glass with flamingo designs. The glass contains a straw. The scene is bright and casual.

Surprise your kids by putting these cute spider ice cubes in their morning drinks or offer them to your guests at a party. Wash your plastic spiders with dish soap and go ahead and freeze those spiders in ice cube trays the night before! While you may opt for the typical black look to keep them looking extra creepy crawly, I was so excited to find these pink spiders! After all, you know me and pink. ;) 

A child in a pink shirt reaches for a fake black spider on a table. There’s a drink with a straw next to them, filled with a pink liquid, and a small white pumpkin nearby. The child is seated on a pink chair.

Have little little tiny ones?! My (almost) 2 year old Claire was intrigued and not the slightest bit scared. Kids have no fear! ;)

Cheers to another holiday for the books! What are you looking forward to most this Halloween??
