These Creative Friends are getting ready for Trick or Treating!
Creativity Halloween Decorating Idea!
Glowing Ghost Lanterns
- What You Need: White balloons, cheesecloth, LED tea lights, black construction paper, glue.
- How To: Inflate the balloons and cover them with layers of cheesecloth to create a ghostly shape. Cut out eyes and a mouth from the black paper and glue them onto the ghost’s face. Place an LED tea light under each ghost to make them glow eerily in the dark.

Trick-Or-Treating Safety Tips
Trick or treating is one of the most exciting Halloween activities for young children, but as a parent, it’s important to keep safety in mind while you and your little goblins are out on the town. Here are some spook-tacular safety tips to keep in mind while you’re haunting the streets:
- Plan Your Path: Pick a fun and safe route with your family. Stick to places you know, and stay away from dark or spooky spots.
- Costume Comfort: Make sure your costume is comfy and easy to walk in. Bright colors or shiny bits help drivers see you better!
- Glow Bright: Add reflective tape or glow sticks to your costume or candy bag so you can shine in the dark.
- Light the Way: Carry a flashlight or use your phone’s light to help you see where you’re going.
- Stick to the Sidewalk: Walk on the sidewalk, not the street. If there’s no sidewalk, be extra careful!
- Safe Crossings: Always use crosswalks and look both ways before crossing the street.
- Candy Check: Let a grown-up inspect your treats before you dig in. Toss any candy that looks odd or isn’t wrapped.
- Follow The Rules:Stay with your grown-up, and never go into someone’s house or car, even if they offer candy.
- Don’t Go Alone: Always go trick-or-treating with a grown-up or a group of friends.
- Have A Plan: If something goes wrong or you get tired, have a plan to call for help. Bring a phone just in case!
into someone’s house or car, even if they offer candy.
