Halloween is less than four weeks away, which means it is officially planning season. Costumes to dream up. Face paint looks to practice. Spooky stories to write.
We rounded up nine live Wimzee classes that fit the season. Every one is taught live on video by a real instructor, and every one gives your kid something fun to show for it long after the candy is gone. A few mention Halloween right in the listing. The rest are spooky-season adjacent in the best way.
The short answer: pick the class that matches what your kid is already into. Costume obsessive, start with sewing. Storyteller, start with the writing workshops. Gamer, start with D&D.

1. Sew Your Own Halloween Costume with Juju
Best for: the kid designing a costume from scratch (all ages)
The listing itself says it best: great time right before Halloween. Kids learn beginning sewing one on one with Juju, who grew up in Rio de Janeiro dreaming about costume design and is now a professionally trained SFX makeup artist. Store-bought costumes cannot compete with one your kid sewed themselves.

2. Intro to Face Painting with Tylah Souffrant
Best for: DIY Halloween makeup (ages 3 to 18)
Every great Halloween look starts with face paint. Tylah Souffrant teaches brush types and the technique behind flawless application, so kids learn to paint their own Halloween faces instead of sitting still while a parent wrestles with a kit. It works for individuals or groups, and the listing has a video intro.

3. Beginner Tarot for Teens with Joshua V

Nothing says spooky season like tarot. Joshua V, an educator and storyteller, teaches teens the structure of the deck, card meanings, and simple reading techniques in a fun and supportive one-on-one setting. No experience needed, just curiosity. A teen who can read cards at a Halloween party is a teen with a superpower.

5. October Teen Creative Writing Workshop with Angela Shanté
Best for: teens who want to write a spooky story (ages 14 to 19)
It meets on Saturdays through October, which makes it the natural home for a spooky story. Award-winning author Angela Shanté guides teens from memorable characters to exciting plots, and every writer finishes with a short story of their own. Sessions run October 10, 17, and 24 from 11:00am to 12:30pm Pacific, so there is still time to join.

6. Create a Guardian Creature with Taylor H
Best for: kids who invent monsters (ages 10 to 15)
Every monster needs an origin story. Kids invent their own magical creature tied to fire, water, earth, or air, give it a name, decide how it communicates, then draw or paint it and write its backstory. Taylor H, a creative guide and expressive arts mentor, leads the way. October is the perfect month to make that creature a spooky one.

7. Fantasy Writing: Epic Magical Stories with Valerie S
Best for: young writers (ages 10 to 18)
Magic systems. World building. Heroes and power and what makes a story truly enchanting. Valerie S helps young writers channel their love of all things magic into an original story of any length they choose. October is the ideal month to make it a spooky one.

8. Be a Magician! with Dean Bootcheck
Best for: party-trick kids (ages 10 to 15)
All it takes is a coin and a deck of cards. Dean Bootcheck has performed magic for 30 years and taught it to young people at Purdue, and he teaches simple but powerful tricks that build confidence and public speaking skills. Halloween parties will never be the same once your kid can make a coin vanish.

9. D&D Candyland Campaign with Aurora Dawn
Best for: younger kids (all ages, group)

Questions parents ask
Are these actually Halloween classes?
Some are. The sewing listing mentions Halloween directly, and the October writing workshop runs through the month. The rest fit the season: costumes, face paint, magic, monsters, tarot, and spooky stories. We framed each one honestly so you know what you are booking.
How do live online classes work?
Every class is live on video. Your child joins from home, learns in real time with the instructor, and gets feedback during the session. Each class page lists the exact time, length, and what to have ready.
What ages are these classes for?
It varies a lot across this list, from all-ages down to teen-only. The tarot and D&D quest classes are for teens 13 and up. Each section above lists the ages, and each class page confirms them.
What does my kid need for the magic class?
Just a coin and a deck of 52 playing cards. No fancy props.
How do I choose between the two writing classes?
The October workshop is a month-long group that meets Saturdays and ends with a published short story. The fantasy writing class is one-on-one and built around whatever story your kid wants to tell. Group energy and a deadline, or personal attention at their own pace.
