Kid-friendly Halloween themes

  • "a smiling jack-o-lantern, thick outlines, simple background"

Keep it fun, not frightening

For young children, add "cute," "friendly," and "smiling" to keep monsters adorable. For older kids who want a bit more spook, ask for "a haunted house" or "a spooky graveyard" with more detail. You control exactly how scary it gets.
