Halloween is rapidly approaching, and while it can be exciting, some parents may be worried about having a safe holiday in these uncertain times. However, there are still plenty of ways to host a successful Halloween celebration while keeping everyone safe and happy! That’s why this week, we wanted to showcase four great Halloween ideas that your kids will love.

These ideas come from a post called “7 Ideas for a Safe and Fun Halloween During the COVID-19 Pandemic”, which was written by the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. If you find these interesting, you can check out the full article by clicking here.
- Set up a candy hide-and-seek: Hide individually wrapped candy throughout the house or yard, and let the kids go find it. Or, map out a scavenger hunt with clues to where you hid the candy.
- Host a virtual costume party: Dress, up, make costumes, or put on a crazy wig and invite your child’s friends and family to a virtual costume party using one of many popular video chat apps. Make it fun and incorporate a dance party, sing-along, or parade around the house.
- Have fun with a Halloween piñata: Get a piñata to fill with individually wrapped candy and hang it outside. Your kids can dress up in their favorite Halloween costumes and take turns hitting the piñata with a broom handle or bat until the candy falls out. Take it a step further and make a piñata out of recycled material and art supplies to decorate as a spooky Halloween creation.
