While Trick or Treating and Halloween House Parties may be limited for Halloween 2021 in order to keep healthy and safe, we can all still enjoy the wonderful time that is Halloween.
Costumes along with spooky house and garden themes are so much fun. October 31st falls on a Sunday so a nice day of fun can be planned rather than the after-work rush.
Here are some ideas to plan for an alternative Halloween for Kids and Teens in 2021.
Let’s get Spooky!
Halloween Dress Up
No Halloween is complete without a costume. Why not pick a theme for the family………………Zombies are fun to create for teens while younger kids love to dress up as their favourite super hero. Face painting enhances a Halloween costume, if you are looking for inspiration and tutorials, check out our Face Painting article HERE.
House & Garden
Get some community spirit going by asking your local Residence Association to suggest everyone working together to create a Halloween spirit for the kids by all houses making a special effort this year to mark the occasion. Window designs are quite easy to do, check out some designs HERE.
Trick or Treat
Trick or treating can be done safely using sanitiser, giving and taking wrapped treats and standing away from the door, giving space to the caller and home-owner. If you prefer to stay home or only trick or treat among friends houses, you could make it exciting by decorating different spots in the house with fake cobwebs and spiders and hide treats for the kids giving them a fun Halloween hunt. Teens still enjoy trick or treating, why not light a fire pit - enjoy some Halloween s'mores and create some garden spooks? Never too old for a Halloween scare!
