We love Halloween in our house – the kids get dressed up and head out trick or treating with friends and neighbours, and once they have filled their goody bags, it is usually back to our house for a Halloween party for the kids(young and old!).
For younger kids, heading out trick or treating on Halloween night can often be scary, so a party at home can be the perfect way for them to enjoy the fun, without the fright!
Halloween Decorations
Preparations should start a few weeks in advance of the big day. We decorate the house with all the scary goods we can find and have a few Halloween crafting sessions to get in the Halloween spirit! Don’t forget your pumpkin!
We’ve lots of ideas here:
