With Halloween just around the corner, parents all over the world are starting to make preparations for spooky parties. Kids love this time of year as it seems magical somehow. Magical and a little frightening. Still, most of them understand that it’s all just a bit of fun. In this short article, we’re going to give you some great tips that could help to make this year’s party one to remember. With that in mind, let’s get started…
Make pumpkin lanterns
At this time of year, you will find pumpkins for sale at many different places around your local town. Fruit and veg stores are, usually, your best bet when it comes to getting the cheapest prices. Everyone knows how to make the lanterns, and so this could be a fun activity the kids the kids can get involved with. Just make sure you watch over them carefully when carving faces into the pumpkins as they’ll need to use a sharp knife. Also, you might want to keep the lanterns away from any children with anxiety issues.
Bob for apples
Bobbing for apples is a Halloween tradition that has gone on for many years. All you have to do is get a fruit bowl or something similar, fill it with your chosen liquid and then add your apples. If you want to make this game extra gruesome, you could try filling the bowl with a red or green liquid. That will help to make it look like slime or blood. Kids love this game, and all the guests at your party with want to take part.
Get fancy dress costumes
Halloween just wouldn’t be the same without dressing up. For that reason, you should search online today to find scary costumes and makeup. Luckily, there are lots of websites that specialise in selling this type of gear. After having a fleeting glance at www.hollywood.uk.com, we discovered that evil clowns and dolls are a top choice this year. If you’ve been reading all that stuff about black-eyed children in the press recently, perhaps that might be a good idea too?
Rent / download some scary films
You obviously have to be careful when selecting scary films for children. However, it’s more than acceptable to let them watch something that will put the willies up them at this time of year. Sure, they might have nightmares, but that’s all part of the fun. Just try not to get anything with too many killings. For whatever reason, modern horror films tend to involve nutty serial killers rather than ghosts or monsters. You want to opt for something set in a haunted house with all the standard spooky elements.
If you get all those things covered, all you have to worry about is sending out your invitations. We advise that you get your costume sorted as soon as possible though as you only have a couple of weeks before the big day.
Good luck planning a frightening Halloween party that all the kids in your neighbourhood will remember for years.
