How to celebrate Halloween from home

Halloween is one of the most anticipated holidays of the year, and this one is sure to be like no other! Although celebrating in the traditional ways might be a bit more challenging this season, you can still bust out your favorite costume, get your house into the spooky spirit, and have a safe Halloween! With just a little bit of creativity and imagination, you can give your kids a truly unforgettable experience this October 31st. Here are a few tips to safely celebrate Halloween this year with your loved ones.

At-home treasure hunt

Although traditional trick-or-treating has been declared high risk this year, you can still give your kids treats and some tricks by setting up a treasure hunt right at home! Hide their favorite candy around the house, and have them search for it. You can even write out clues or riddles to transform it into a scavenger hunt. Be sure you all dress up in your best costumes and decorate the house for some spooky fun!

Creepy treats

Every holiday calls for some festive food. There are so many simple recipes you and your little ones can make together, from pumpkin cookies, themed drinks, to “fingers” made of pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate. You can even transform simple brownies or cupcakes into the ultimate Halloween treats just by adding some spooky decorations.

DIY decorations

Get crafty with your little one by creating your very own Halloween decorations! Try painting pumpkins, make a spooky wreath by painting foliage black, or adding some plastic spiders to your DIY slime. When you’re done, place the decorations around your house!

“Boo” your neighbors

This fun tradition is the perfect way to celebrate this year while still maintaining social distancing, and spreading some Halloween cheer. “Booing” your neighbors is simple: gather up some festive items like Halloween cookies, candy, stickers, glow sticks, or any other fun things you can think of! Then, put them all together into a cute basket, and leave it on neighbors doors with a note letting them know they’ve been Booed, and to pay it forward to others.

Go on a drive-through Halloween

This year, plenty of organizations are putting on drive-through events so you can have a safe Halloween while still participating in all the fun! Looking for a scare? Try finding a drive-through haunted house near you, which will still be sure to give you all the spine-chilling frights even from inside your car. If you have younger kiddos, look for something milder such as drive-through Halloween decorations or going to see a Halloween movie at the drive-in movie theater.

See the blue moon

This Halloween brings with it a special treat - a full, blue moon. Just grab some lawn chairs and head outside to witness this rare sight! This is the very first time since World War II that a full moon has been visible from all time zones, so no matter where you are located, you can get outside and see it. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this one - this won’t happen again until 2039!

No matter how you choose to celebrate this year, a toddler trike makes everything more fun.
