Halloween may not be a nationally recognized holiday, but it is well celebrated in the United States. For children, Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year as it gives them the opportunity to dress up in a fun costume and eat lots of candy. To have a great Halloween, preparations need to start early and there are several tips that should be followed.
Choose a Costume
The biggest part of preparing for Halloween is choosing a costume. Many kids think about their Halloween costume weeks or months ahead of the holiday. For those who do not have an idea, there are plenty of ways to get great ideas. Some ways to get inspiration for a Halloween costume is to either read ads online or in magazines. While most Halloween costume options are available for purchase through a store, you can save money by making your own. Simple online searches could give you the instructions you need to make any costume.
Buy Candy
Halloween would not be the same without candy. Since candy is marked up considerably in the weeks before Halloween, you can save money if you start buying your candy before the season begins. Another option is to decorate your own candy. A popular idea is to create customized ghosts, using only tissue paper and lollipops. It would be wise to avoid giving out baked goods and to also encourage your children to avoid eating unpackaged treats.
Purchase a Pumpkin
One of the most enjoyable parts of the Halloween season is going to a pumpkin patch. You can take your whole family to a local pumpkin patch, where you can buy a pumpkin and all the tools that you need to decorate it. It is then a great family experience to design and carve your own family jack-o-lantern.
Make Plans
Children are known to go trick or treating the night of October 31st. Decide who will accompany them while trick or treating. For those wanting to skip trick or treating, throw a Halloween party. You can make themed Halloween food and the children can invite their friends over. This is a great alternative to trick or treating that is safe and can be more memorable.
