Cute and Colorful Supplies Make Family Friendly Non Scary Halloween Decorations
Part of the key to keeping your home from looking too frightful is in choosing lots of bright and fun colors rather than opting for those darker ones. Look out for bright pumpkin oranges, royal purples, monster greens, whites and only just a little black.
Keep it looking light and fresh with smiling character faces and items that really don't look too realistic at all. For children's parties add in lots of brightly colored balloons and fun inflatables that kids can enjoy and smile at.
You can buy Halloween balloons in bright colors like oranges, purples, greens, yellows. Add in just a few black or lots of white ones and hang them around all the rooms that will be used for your decorations.
Hang the balloons up individually or in clusters. Paper banners, garlands and chains can be made or bought in the colors of your choice and are a fast way to set a scene. Keeping decorations light and bright is the key.

When choosing typical creatures and characters such as bats, spiders, ghosts and skulls, make sure that these look cartoon-like rather than realistic for your non-scary decor theme.
For more of a fun, child-friendly look use lots of bright seasonal shades. Make sure to add in plenty of white instead of the usual black in order to keep the whole look nice and light.

Outdoor Inflatable Light Up Ghost Decoration

The idea with yard decor, as with other areas, is to buy items that really don't look realistic at all. Don't look for any realistic looking spiders, skulls, bats and other motifs because they are too much for young kids.
Make sure that you get things that have a real cartoon look and feel to them. Look for smiling Jack O Lanterns and happy witches. There are lots of non-scary inflatables that you could choose from as outdoor Halloween decorations. Or how about a large 7 foot light up inflatable Halloween train complete with a skeleton, ghost and smiling pumpkins too.
