A festive
party can be had with an
educational twist.
Halloween is a holiday that children look forward to almost as much as Christmas. If not presents, the way to a child’s heart is through candy! Though often regarded as an anti-Christian holiday, many families see no harm in allow their children to dress up in a costume and enjoy the pretend play that Halloween is perfect for. Let the children act as the characters they dress up as for the day; and save the costume for hours of pretend play fun for the rest of the year! You can use this holiday as you would any other to teach your children through a holiday education party. There plenty of great activities that you can do to get your children interested in learning. Perhaps one of the favorite activities to do is carving jack-o-lanterns. There are many different patterns you can print and tape to a pumpkin to help you cut out the face you want. There are kits you can buy in local stores that are safe for kids to use, so that they can help the adults with the hard part! If you are not comfortable with the idea of cutting a jack-o-lantern you can buy miniature pumpkins, and set the kids loose with markers or paint, so that they can make their own versions of the larger jack-o-lanterns. Other activities you can do include allowing the children to make and decorate their own candy bowls for holding their candy as they trick or treat, or having them make treat bags for children that may come to your house if someone will be there to hand them out as you take the kids around the neighborhood.
