Ideas for Celebrating a Safe & Fun Halloween
Decorating the yard, choosing a costume and carving pumpkins brings a special excitement and joy to child’s eyes. 2020 has posed a challenge in how to celebrate holidays safely and at a social distance. We have some great ideas so that you and your little ones can have a safe and Spooktacular Halloween!
Decorate your house to the max!
Shop Halloween decor at Target, Hobby Lobby or event the Dollar Store! If you want to avoid the stores, you can order online from Oriental Trading or Amazon.
Set up a candy graveyard.
Set up fake tombstone in your yard with prizes and bags of candy piled up next to each tombstone. Have each child enter your yard one at a time and claim their prize!
Host Zoom Costume Parties & Pumpkin Carving Contests
Zoom with friends and family to share your fabulous costume or your Pumpkin Carving Skills. Turn it into a competition for some added fun!
Host Socially Distant Bicycle Parties
Put on those costumes and ride bikes with your friends! Outside is safer and make sure those costumes have masks!
Be a Porch Angel.
Spread anonymous Halloween cheer by dropping goodie bags or pumpkins on the porches of your friends and family.
Organize a Glow-in-the-Dark Candy Hunt.
Place glow bracelets in goodie bags filled with candy. When it gets dark, hide the bags around the yard. Amazon and Oriental Trading are a great source for glow-in-the-dark products!
