Having a Halloween family movie night
It doesn’t have to be a movie “night!” Keep the lights on and watch Halloween movies during the day so that your kids don’t get scared.
Watching Halloween movies together is a great time for your kids to wear their costumes before Halloween. You’ll get more use out of them that way, and little ones love dressing up!
Have the kids help prep some snacks or a meal to tie in the theme. My kids love to make (and eat!) these Spooky Spider Deviled Eggs.
