6 Things You Can Do With Your Kids For Halloween 2021
Halloween is coming!
This is one of the most anticipated events of the year and if you are a parent, you know how much Halloween means to the young ones. It’s the time to go around in costumes - a beloved movie character, a funny cartoon, a spooky being, or a simple household item creatively coming to life.
The COVID-19 situation still remains this year though. That is why celebrating the day from the comfort of your beloved home is still the safest way to do it. So if you are looking for some way to simply celebrate it, look no further.
Here are 6 things you can do with your kids for Halloween 2021:
- Organize a drive-through trick or treat.
If there are still health restrictions in your area that would make regular trick-or-treating possible, you can still let kids experience it through a drive-through trick or treat.
This particular activity needs coordination with the whole neighbourhood in order to work. You can add everyone in a group chat or promote it in your online group or bulletin. If most of your neighbours agree to this, everything else is just simple.
Talk about the time and path of the vehicles. For example, you can have the little ones wait from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM outside your homes. The cars can pass by each home and drop candy at the waiting child’s basket. If you think that letting the child wait for passing cars is still too risky, you can just leave the basket on a table on the sidewalk so your neighbours can put candy on it. Just make sure that you have agreed about this beforehand too.
- Create easy-baked Halloween snacks with your kids.
Want to finally have those creative snacks for Halloween? You can make it this year. And the good news is, your kid can help you make them too.
Search for snacks that are easy to make, like spider oreo cupcakes. Or, you can add some spooky meals to your dinner table - ghost cookies, jack-o-lantern donuts, meanie marshmallows, eyeball cake pops. These ghastly but delicious treats will surely make the Halloween 2021 table memorable. You can find more recipes online or watch how-to videos on Youtube.
- Make some pumpkin spice latte.
Want your child to try something new this year? Make some pumpkin spice latte together!
It’s really easy to make once you have prepared all the ingredients. You only need coffee, milk, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and sugar for this. You can use decaffeinated coffee for your little child’s drink or skip it altogether. To make it more special, add whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice on top. We’re sure it will be gone in no time!
- Go ghosting.
Go ghosting this Halloween 2021.
No, you won’t be going to haunted places with your kid. This is the positive kind of ghosting that we are talking about. You do this to show someone that you like them or you care for them. Here is how you do it:
