Will your Halloween be different this year? Where I live, the local government is urging people to stay home and avoid trick-or-treating this year. If you've decided to celebrate Halloween at home this year, here is a list of activities for you to consider and most require materials you have at home or can easily find at your local dollar store or Target.
What about the TREATS?
Instead of trick-or-treating this year, here are two alternatives:
- Buy bags of your favorite Halloween candy at your local grocery store ahead of time. This is a win-win because you aren't stuck with candy no one likes. :)
- Start a new tradition and make/bake your own Halloween treats together! Check out this list of recipes:
