Overview of Halloween 4-Part Series

Kimberly and Jan have a down-to-earth, lots of common sense, and plenty of good old-fashioned ideas four-part series of Halloween articles that we know you’ll really enjoy. We encourage everyone to get back to basics and just have fun with Halloween, the way it was when we were kids and Halloween was an event that you couldn’t wait to happen.

Our series covers the following topics: (1) planning what to be for Halloween, (2) making your own Halloween costume, (3) preparing Trick or Treat candy bags, and (4) having some fun handing out candy.

Part 1 gives you some ideas for how to make planning for Halloween into a way to have some quality time with your kids. We provide ideas for how to help your kids to think about what character, person, or thing to be for Halloween. This gives kids a chance to learn how to “be creative” and more importantly, how to be engaged in an activity.

Part 2 gives you tips and ideas for creating and making costumes, most of which are inexpensive and easy to make. We also offer the practical idea of making a Halloween costume that can then be used as pajamas for the Fall and Winter!

Part 3 is another article filled with ideas and tips for making Halloween candy bags to hand out to trick-or-treaters. This is a fun weekend activity that you can share with your kids. It is another great way to have some quality time with your kids, sitting around the table, being “crafty” and making simple Halloween candy bags that you can fill with inexpensive candies.

Part 4 puts the finishing touch on Halloween---ideas for how to have some real fun Halloween night while you hand out those Halloween candy bags you made. This is also a good way to help your kids to think about “giving” rather than “getting” while still allowing them to dress up for Halloween.

In all, our series is more of our no-nonsense, plain old-fashioned notions about having a good time not only with your kids, but also with Halloween. We help you to make Halloween fun again!
