5 Easy Activities for October
This post contains Affiliate links. I may earn a commission if the item is purchased through this link but it will be no extra cost to you.October is full of so many big activities that sometimes we really just need a couple easy programs that don’t take a lot of brain power. Am I right? Look no further! 5 quick and easy programs for this month. Some spooky, some not!
Solar Eclipse Viewing Party!
This one will admittedly only work if you are in the western United States but it provides a great opportunity to engage your community in science learning as well as create memories at the library that they’ll remember for years!
To view the solar eclipse you MUST HAVE special glasses to protect your eyes! These NASA approved ones are a great option. You also could choose to simply hand them out to your community with an activity packet centered on solar eclipses (NASA has some great resources HERE) and let them have their own party!

Halloween Posters
These coloring posters are SO FUN to put up in the hallway or childrens room at your library and they double as a great decoration for the season!
Halloween Paintings
If you are looking for a fun and easy activity, this one is a fan favorite! It comes with everything you need to create Halloween hangings. It would be best for a little bit older kids because it does include paints and glue, but the creativity is so fun to watch!
These are a great passive Halloween activity that you can give out the week of Halloween or as part of a Halloween party the day of!
For a mess free storytime or after-school activity these are fantastic! Put them on pumpkins, pictures of pumpkins, empty milk jugs, empty coffee cans, and more! If you want to get out paints kids can paint and then sticker decorate too!
Whatever great activities you have planned this month I hope you have plenty of attendees, no major crises, and lots of fun!
