Although the world is still clad in the clutches of the coronavirus, people are ecstatic about the next big thing—Halloween. It can be the most exciting time of the year apart from the holidays, and nothing should deter you from celebrating—not even the pandemic. While the idea of parties may not seem like a good idea at the moment, adherence to social distancing rules must be taken into consideration.
As such, why not move the Halloween spirit into the comforts of your own home? It’s the perfect opportunity to throw a Halloween party like never before, and all you need to do is gather your children for fun and simple activities. Inviting some friends along can be most ideal, so long as it’s safe!
To throw the best home Halloween party, here are some easy tips and tricks to make your October fun, exciting, and downright spine-tingling:
Step 1: Set the mood with pumpkins and carvings
Halloween will never be complete without the decorations, so hit your local farms and purchase pumpkins for the family! Host a carving pumpkin contest, encouraging your children to use their creativity and imagination. Carve out the supernatural and scary onto the pumpkins, channeling your Halloween spirit into the activity.
It’s no secret that scooping out pumpkins can be quite gross, adding to that cool vibe of what Halloween is—exciting and disgusting! Make sure to guide your children accordingly, especially when it comes to using carving knives. Once done, illuminate your masterpieces and place them around your home
Step 2: Energize with endless sweets
The idea of a Halloween home time is to get the entire family involved—with that, why not get your hands dirty and whip up the best baked treated? Make use of chocolate as your main base, and come up with cakes and brownies your kids will love. Integrate strawberry sauce and orange extracts for extra spookiness, as these will be reminiscent of oozing blood.
Throw in some chocolate chip cookies for good measure, using raisins, chips, marshmallows, and rice crispies to use as toes, moles, flies, and every gross thing in between! Watch as your children’s faces light up as you spread an assortment of goodies, in lieu of the trick-or-treat sessions they’ll be missing!
Step 3: Top the day off with crafty costumes
What’s a Halloween party without costumes? Spend the rest of the afternoon dressing up around the house. Make use of old Halloween costumes and kick them up a notch using DIY crafts. Dress as mermaids, pirates, zombie doctors, and every creature you can imagine!
Spend the rest of the day taking photographs to send to your friends and family, most of which are likely spending Halloween in their own homes. Enjoy your Halloween treats, scary movies, and everything in between, clad in your costume.
Step 4: A little extra Halloween fun
Seeing as Halloween cannot be celebrated outside, why not bring the fun in? Rent out Halloween-themed inflatables and set them up in your backyard. Surprise your children with this one special treat, watching their faces in awe as they run to the bouncy world of graveyards, pumpkins, and even haunted houses. Nothing beats the joy of watching little pirates and fairies jumping about, enjoying Halloween time for what it is—fun, creativity, and excitement!
