5 Fun Halloween Video Playlists on YouTube Kids
1. Nickelodeon Halloween Playlist
A perfect series of videos for younger kids right through your tweens, it allows them to create their spookiest Halloween costume with the Merrell Twins; make Halloween slime with JoJo Siwa; play pranks on friends (above); or watch a trick-or-treat taste test. Which is way better than the pizza challenge IMHO.

This is actually one you’ll enjoy too, parents!
