Halloween is not only just for the 31st of November though, it’s a build-up with activities and you can choose how costly or time-consuming they all add up to be. We’re here to give you some inspiration and ideas, especially about incorporating your child's electric car for trick or treating or their off-road buggy for Pumpkin Patch visits!
Revving Up for Halloween: How to add Spooky Twist to Kid’s Electric Ride-on Cars
If you already have a 12v or 24v kids Car you can let your trick-or-treater decorate it themselves! Supply them with stickers, cobwebs, spiders, and maybe some balloons to make them look spooky! They will love this activity as they will feel like they are part of preparing for the big night! Some of them might have a specific costume planned that goes hand in hand with a car, where the car compliments the costume! This might be a race driver with a speedy car to drive them around on Halloween. In this case, it’s a good idea to buy specific racing stickers or if you already do not possess a kids' car you can check out Titan Toys 24v Pro Drifter. For any kids wanting to dress up as a police you might want to consider the 12v Dodge Charger Hellcat Police Car with real working sirens and Police Lights.

Pumpkin Patch Adventures: Why Kids 4x4 Offroad Buggies are Perfect for Autumn Fun
I never realised that pumpkin patches were this big thing, maybe because we didn’t have kids and therefore, we never actively looked for kids' activities or maybe it is an activity that has exploded over the recent years. Nonetheless, kids love them! We have visited muddy rainy patches and sunny but still muddy ones; they are equally fun! Could they be pricey after you’ve bought the ticket, had your food and bbq’ed marshmallows and ended up with 10 different-sized and coloured pumpkins? YES! But this is a great opportunity to bring your 24v Buggy to cruise around in, as they can power through loads of mud! Some off-road buggies such as the Hornet come with a built-in shelf, perfect for playing smaller-sized pumpkins! Just remember to check beforehand with the event organisers if they allow these ride-ons to be used on their premises.
If you’re looking for a smaller and cheaper option while already owning a kids' buggy, we suggest setting up your own pumpkin patch/trail/hunt! You can buy different sorts of pumpkins from the supermarket for a fraction of the cost you pay at the hosted pumpkin patches. Place them out in a designated area, add some cobwebs around the trees and bushes, and some fairy lights and have the kids drive around in their 4x4s searching for them.
You can find Titan Toy’s exclusive 24v Buggies here, they’ve got 4 very strong motors and 2 seats, perfect for siblings hunting for pumpkins together. Another great option is the Licensed Can AM 2x24v Buggy!
If your kids are looking to carve their pumpkins by themselves and might want to do something unique but still manageable, we can recommend carving a classic face on a great white Pumpkin! A new twist on an old classic! Another tip is to carve the hole from underneath the pumpkin to avoid the top caving in.
Safety Tips for Night-time Rides and Halloween Adventures
Most Electric Cars for kids to drive by themselves, come with built-in LED lights and Parent Remote Controls. This will give you peace of mind during trick or treating where you know you can control the electric ride-on where it gets more crowded to avoid accidents. The built-in lights ensure your little driver stays visible through busy pavements. Add a tall flag or a helium balloon to stick up and you’ve got a decorated and very visible car driver!
Most of the cars sold by Titan Toys come with a built-in Music and USB feature, allowing you to constantly hear the electric car, but it’s also a great opportunity to add to the spookiness by adding some Halloween-themed music like the Monster Mash or Spooky, scary Skeletons or just rumbling creepy thunder sounds!
Halloween with it’s crafting, decorating, costume making, pumpkin carving and everything else that kids enjoy so much, could very much make it one of their favourite events of the year!
