One of my favorite things about being a mama is creating new traditions together as a family. We don’t really have many Halloween traditions other than costumes and trick or treating, so I was thrilled when I saw the idea for a Boo Breakfast. I’m so excited to surprise the girls and give it a whirl this year. During rest time the other day I whipped up a few faBOOlous (see what I did there?) decorations and today I’m sharing them with you so you can create your very own Halloween Boo Breakfast with your kiddos. There’s even two BOO themed Breakfast Ideas at the very end of this post. Let’s get started!
