A Halloween Poetry Teatime Picnic! Doesn’t it just sound lovely! I admit at first it seemed like it might be a bit overwhelming, but I decided to make it as simple as possible.

We already had the Halloween costumes, the poetry books, an old quilt, and some apple cider. The only prepping I had to do was opening a package of Pillsbury Halloween cookies. Seriously, I’m all for homemade and from scratch, but some days…or most days…you’ve got to make things easier on yourself. So, you have my permission to break open those prepackaged cookies and enjoy some poetry with your kids!

Plus, I’ve got some fun Halloween Poetry kids books for you to check out!

The Brave Writer Lifestyle

Did you know that the Brave Writer Lifestyle encourages poetry teatime and Halloween? I’ve found poetry teatime to be a fantastic way to encourage connections and memorable moments with my kiddos. We love setting up a whimsical space for our jaunt into limericks, rhymes, and riddles!

My kiddos adore pairing tasty treats with scattered books of poetry.

Halloween Poetry Teatime Picnic

We chose a fun collection of poetry books for Halloween including Best Witches Poems For Halloween, Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe (our son thought this was too sad, so no more Poe for a while), and Ring of Earth: A Child’s Book of Seasons.

The children convinced me that we should wear our Halloween costumes to make the picnic more festive. We sat on our old quilt among the fallen leaves adorned in our fine raiments and took turns reading bits of poetry while eating our cookies and drinking cider.

*The cider didn’t last long!

But, oh what a joy our poetry teatime picnic turned out to be!

This is a Halloween tradition that the children loved. They declared it a success, prepacked Pillsbury cookies and all! The weather was perfect. The breeze was nice and the words danced from our lips and into our hearts as only poetry can.
