As much as I love Halloween for the dress-up and candy, I’m always on the lookout for fun, kid-friendly and creative ways to decorate for fall. Pumpkins, gourds, jack-o-lanterns — I love them all! But I’m all about pushing it to the next level of clever and cheeky. With my youngest only 20 months, I’m more about fun and less about fright at this stage in our lives. Here are my five favorite creative decor ideas for Halloween.

Hop over to BHG to catch my favorites from their site as well as some out-of-the-box inspiration. AND – how adorable are these little baby pumpkin posies I snapped in New York last weekend? I’ve never seen anything like them. They were so darling and now I’m thinking I might need to try this. I think they were glued on, but I bet you could remove all the pumpkin guts and make a makeshift vase.
