Halloween "Trick or Treat" ideas are in demand again. T'is the season when mommies (and sometimes daddies, too) find themselves mulling over their kids' costumes, along with goodies and giveaways, for the annual kiddie creepy creatures' visit slated to make the rounds of the neighborhood come Halloween night.
As always, on top of the fun and scares, ensuring your kid's enjoyment and safety remain your concern. Puzzle no more by practicing these fun but practical Halloween "Trick or Treat" ideas:
1. Planning to throw the best spooky party ever for your kids and their pals? Here is one of the surefire Halloween "Trick or Treat" ideas guaranteed to boost enjoyment, as shared by Cspinet: writing, reading and sharing scary tales.
Making this the focus of the party allows you to hit two birds with one stone: you distract them from always thinking of candy, and at the same time you improve their reading and socialization activities. Other creativity-enhancing ideas worth trying include: making slime, creating masks and creepy accessories and acting out their own skits.
2. Cspinet advises to take time to create spookily delectable treats. Great parties are all about fun activities and the best ambience. The latter boils down to decors, themes and creating the best menu with the most appropriate presentation that tops off a well-coordinated gathering.
Create sandwiches and fruit treats cut out using Halloween molds/cookie cutters. Focus on serving healthier treats like fruits, nuts, veggies, etc. Because you can use your inherent artistry to decorate your dishes (and mask them at the same time), you can easily get away with cooking up delectable veggie treats sans the scowls and "Eeewwws."
3. Getting your kid all ready for the Halloween dance means readying the most imaginative costume you can create/buy/find and of course, afford. Do not be afraid to let your imaginations run wild. However, Parade cautions you from dressing your kid up as a zombie (or probably anything too brutally macabre with gore accessories), especially if your kid is still a tyke.
Why? All that messy gore may mess up his mind that may one-day call for therapies. There is no scientific backup to advocate this idea, though. However, it is still not a good idea to dress up like one and scare kids out of their wits in the midst of merrymaking.
