1. Sweetie hunt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"sweetie](\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/candies-food-sweets-3095465-1024x682.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nHalloween is a time for treats, but this doesn’t have to mean trick-or-treating. The cold weather and fear of stranger-danger can make it preferable to stay indoors, so why not create a sweetie hunt in the confines of your own home! Arm your children with a fun bucket, hide yummy treats around the house, and watch them scramble around as they try desperately to find them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n2. Tell family stories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"child](\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/baby-beautiful-child-1257105-1024x682.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nSpooky films aren’t for everyone, we understand! So, instead of sitting down to watch some classic Halloween films, how about you share some funny and heartwarming family stories with the children. This is a great way to turn Halloween on its head by celebrating the living – or, it can be a sweet and therapeutic way to remember those that’ve passed. Or make up some creative stories from scratch! And if they listen attentively, then maybe<\/em> they can watch a film…<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n3. Pumpkin treats!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/color-flatlay-flora-1437655-e1571750706682.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWe eat sweets and chocolates all year round, so Halloween can be a great time to mix up the treats instead! Spend the afternoon making a tasty pumpkin bread<\/a> together, or create a warm, wintery pumpkin soup<\/a>. It’s not only a great bonding session, but also a good opportunity to teach the children some alternative cooking skills. Also, those leftovers will last all week!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n4. Non-scary costumes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/adult-celebration-child-220426-e1571750746900.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nEveryone loves to dress up, but don’t feel like you have to make it scary! If your children aren’t into the spooky attire, encourage them to dress up as their favourite film or book characters. This way, they still get to feel involved in the fun of fancy dress, but they don’t have to endure all the scares! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nPumpkins are a Halloween staple, and nobody wants to miss out on the carving! But this year, do away with the spooky faces, and try carving something more wholesome. You could get the children to carve a flower or the sun \u2013 once you\u2019ve put the candle in the pumpkin, they\u2019ll look beautiful! Alternatively, they could carve in their own names for a pretty, personalised pumpkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis Halloween, light up the spooky night sky with some vibrant paper lanterns. You can make this a full arts & crafts experience by constructing the lanterns yourself \u2013 all you\u2019ll need is paper, a stapler, and scissors! Your children can decorate them with this fancy Amazing Magic Pen Set<\/a>, and then send their creations flying off into the night, or leave them as hanging decorations for the garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n7.

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nAnd how about tying all of these activities together in one, big family gathering! Instead of traipsing through the streets spooking strangers, let your children spend the day with people they know and love. Trick-or-treating isn\u2019t for everyone, so this is a fun, comfortable alternative for children who prefer familiar surroundings. Invite every uncle, aunt, and nephew available, and make some autumnal memories you\u2019ll never forget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
