This post is sponsored by our long time favorite source for audiobooks, Audible! Their library is huge and packed with great books for our whole family!
When it comes to Halloween we love to embrace the light hearted fun of the holiday with the kids. From carefully picking out costumes, to decorating the house, they love to playfully enjoy the holiday. As we near the day we have enjoyed listening to audiobooks on Audible that have really been getting us in the spirit for Halloween.
Since we have a range in ages of kiddos at our house, from 2 to almost 8, there are books we all listen to together and some that my kids enjoy on their own for their quiet time, or before bed. I love, love, love Audible because they make it really easy for the kids to keep track of their audiobooks. We can be listening in the car, hit pause, and it will save the place and have it ready to pick up where they left off on the tablet or computer when we get home later. There is no way we could keep track of our spot without that! If you haven’t tried Audible, you should! You can even give it a try for your first 30 days for free to see if it works for your family!

What a wonderful roundup of books! I love audiobooks, and I find almost all children enjoy being read to. They are a nice alternative to sitting in front of a screen, and are perfect for car trips for children who get car sick!

So true! Our oldest gets car sick when he reads. Most of all they just love to do activities to get excited for the holidays.
