Now that the spooky season has arrived, it is time to start preparing Halloween activities that are appropriate for the whole family so that October will be the greatest it has ever been. You may find hundreds of activities to do nearby you leading up to the big night, including local pumpkin patches and haunted houses, but there is also lots of good fun to be found at home for children and adults of all ages.
There are many cherished customs associated with Halloween, such as trick-or-treating, trading ghost stories, competing for the award for the neighborhood with the finest Halloween decorations, and carving an impressive pumpkin. However, these activities are just the beginning.
Explore the City in Search of the Finest Decorations You Can Find
In the weeks leading up to the big night, preparations are made to decorate the yard. Make it a point to schedule a nighttime drive during the month of October, before October 31st, to explore your city or town in search of the most spectacular Halloween decorations. Hold a vote to determine who in the family thinks is the best. You can explore online as well.
Build a Pumpkin House for the Fairies
The creation of this adorable gourd cottage will be a lot of fun for tiny hands, and they'll have a blast keeping an eye out for the elves and fairies that are almost certainly going to move in.
Prepare a Disturbing Meal
DIY ghost leaves are an easy way to give your family dinner table a facelift. Collect some leaves, decorate them white, and then once they are completely dry, add two dots for eyes. You can also stick them onto pumpkins to make a decoration that doesn't require carving or string them together to make a Halloween garland.
Make Witch Slime
This witch slime can keep your children busy throughout the entire month of October, and it also makes a fantastic material for sensory play, particularly for toddlers who are just beginning to explore their sense of touch. Simply take it out of storage (or produce a fresh batch!) whenever you feel the need to occupy their time.
Paint Zombie Rocks
Rocks rock! Collect a few flat stones from the backyard and challenge your children to create funny or frightening faces on the stones using their imaginations.
These are just a few of the ideas you can do this Halloween, so stay home and get the best with your family.
