Make Your Kid’s Halloween Special with These Ideas
Halloween is here are there is excitement all over. You have a brood of kids who want to go out and collect treats. It is also easy to make this period exciting and give your kids something to remember. From decorating your home to dressing up, you can have a spooky night like no others. Here are things to do.
- Dress the Part
You like dressing up for Halloween, but kids love it more. You do not have to dress scary to look the part. Just choose a specific character and go with it. If your kid loves a certain superhero, get them the costume, and do not forget to bring superhero capes. Have a Halloween parade in your living room or hold a competition for the best costume. A match will increase the excitement but make sure every kid is a winner to prevent arguments and tears.
- Make Treats Together
Instead of heading to the supermarket to buy treats like everyone else, why not make some at home? Spend some time with your kids before Halloween night to make the treats. Encourage your kids to utilize their imagination and creativity to make something fun. You could try spooky cupcakes or cookies shaped like a skeleton. The possibilities are infinite when cooking treats.
- Carve Your Pumpkins
Instead of buying already-carved pumpkins, why not do it at home? Give your kids safe tools, and let each carve their pumpkin lantern. It is an exciting activity that you can do even after school. Moreover, there are numerous ways you can cut the pumpkin instead of the usual triangle eyes and a zig-zag mouth. You may opt to paint the pumpkins instead for the safety of the young ones.
- Plan a Treasure Hunt
If your kids don’t want to trick-or-treat this festival, you can plan something fun in the house. A treasure hunt game can bring all the thrill everyone needs during this time. Draw a simple map and leave some clues for the children to follow. You can also leave some treats with hints to encourage the kids to play more. If you have a garden, the better. Make the garden ready during the day and use a torchlight during the night for the treasure hunt.
- Decorate
Add more fun for the kids by decorating together. Your kids want to know that their home was the most decorated during Halloween. Tun the house into a castle or haunted house. Let the kids take charge of the decorations to ensure they have the most fun. Your young ones will love it when you involve them in the decoration.
- Read Stories or Watch an Almost Spooky Movie
This is the best time to relax and read stories when it gets dark. So, make the space comfy and get a book your kids will love to listen to. However, the story should not be too scary. You may also opt for a movie night. After you have done everything during the day, prepare some treats and let the kids settle on the couch for a not-so-spooky movie.
Have Fun!
