What are your plans for Halloween? Want something other than the normal trick 'r treating? Or, are just looking for a different approach this Halloween? There are plenty of other ways to celebrate the holiday and Wedding and Party Network has three great alternatives that your kids, and even the whole neighborhood will love.
Neighborhood Party: What better way to connect with the people who live around you than to come together for a common purpose? Set up candy and games for all the trick-or-treaters that may come by in your front yard. Each neighbor can contribute Halloween themed snacks or drinks to pass out as well. This is a great opportunity to simply serve kids and families that you may not otherwise come into contact with.
Kid Craft Station: Invite your kids' friends over for a night of creativity. Have a table filled with craft components, such as, paper plates, water-based paints, paintbrushes, felt pieces, Halloween fabric, scrap paper, kid-safe scissors, glue, glitter, buttons, uncooked pasta, etc. Let their imaginations roam free. Have a kid-friendly Halloween movie playing for them to watch while they're creating. The kids will definitely have a fun night in!
Halloween Baking: Magazines and the internet are full of ideas for Halloween-themed treats that are simple and delicious. This is ideal for kids who are a bit older, love to cook or just love to eat. So, have a family night of all Halloween-themed foods and activities. You can even pass out your homemade treats together to your neighbors and friends.
Take advantage of opportunities to just spend time together as a family.
Love this post!! Great ideas. I really like the idea of doing something with the neighborhood.
The craft stations and baking ideas would be great excuses to have the grandkids all together.
