Spooky season is creeping closer, and we’re here for friendly frights—think cosy costumes, giggly ghosts and imaginative play that won’t keep anyone up at night. If you love Lanka Kade’s beautiful, fair-trade wooden toys, our Halloween bundles make it super easy to set up screen-free fun at home, nursery or the classroom.
Why Lanka Kade for Halloween?
-
Open-ended play: mix figures to tell endless stories—no batteries, just imagination.
-
Heirloom quality: chunky, hand-crafted wood that lasts year after year.
-
Ethically made: fair-trade production and sustainably sourced wood.
-
Age-flexible: perfect for small-world setups with toddlers, and for big-kid storytelling too.
1) Lanka Kade Mythical Bundle 📚👻
What’s inside:
-
A friendly ghost, witch, pumpkin, black cat, skeleton, vampire, wizard and mummy. Lanka Kade figure set
-
A seasonal picture book (or pick any favourite)
-
A simple felt “story mat” (or a tea towel—no perfection needed!)
Set-up: Lay out the mat, place the figures as “characters”, and retell the book with your child moving the pieces.
Why it works: Kids remember stories better when their hands are busy—it boosts language, confidence and calm.
Add-on idea: Pair with a not-too-spooky Tonie for a screen-free wind-down after trick-or-treating.

What’s inside (suggested):
-
5–8 Lanka Kade Halloween-themed figures (witch, bat, skeleton, pumpkin, cat, vampire—choose your favourites)

Play prompts:
-
“Knock knock! Who opens the door?”

Learning perks: turn-taking, manners practice, sorting and counting—sneaky maths win.

FAQs
Are the figures compatible with other brands?
Yes—Lanka Kade works brilliantly with play silks, blocks, train sets and dollhouses.
Will Halloween figures get used after October?
Absolutely. Kids repurpose the “cat” as a pet, the “bat” as a night animal, the “witch” as a friendly traveller—open-ended for the win.
