Halloween is around the corner and it’s time to get the kids to help prep and enjoy some spooky fun during the entire month. It doesn’t have to be limited to one day. Here are some activities to try with your kids all month long:
-
Pumpkin painting
-
Pumpkin carving
-
Costumes for parents. Let the kids decide how you’re going to look for trick or treat or your annual Halloween party. That way, you’ll have an excuse.
-
Candy selection draft. Move over, fantasy football draft. Get the family together for a clever Halloween activity at home choosing which candy you’ll be offering to the neighborhood.
-
Candy apple making
-
Cider brewing
-
Toothpick structures. All you need here is some sticky candy and toothpicks. Let the kids build some fun creations and see what they come up with.
-
Arts and crafts time! Construction paper, some glue, and other fun things you find at the local crafts store will capture the kids’ attention for hours.
-
Tell the stories of your candy. Pick a few candies and have the family make up the background of each one…this can get interesting.
-
Tell spooky stories.
