Your family enjoys staying in for nice cozy activities, or they like to head out to drink and treat. 

Let's have a look at some of the easy ways you can make sure that Halloween is fun and packed full of memories this year: 

Have A Halloween Themed Movie Night 

A spooky movie night is a fantastic way to get into the spirit of Halloween together as a family. Get all your family together, make some popcorn, and choose a Halloween classic such as Hocus Pocus or Hotel Transylvania to create a cozy movie night with blankets and pillows. If you're feeling brave enough, you could even dim the lights to give your living room a bit of a spooky feel. Having some themed snacks such as Halloween cupcakes or toasted pumpkin seeds. If you have older children you can always watch a scarier film late in the evening too. 

Decorate Your Home 

Another great way to create a great atmosphere for Halloween is to transform your home into a mini haunted house. Get all of the family involved and decorate your front garden windows and living room with a few Halloween-themed items. You could even create some homemade decorations such as cutout bats, spooky lanterns, or paper ghosts. If you want to go the extra mile, you may even think about getting some outdoor inflatables to create a haunted garden display. Check out a Halloween store for all the latest trends and accessories.

Pumpkin Picking And Carving 

A great way to celebrate Halloween is to head out and go pumpkin picking at a local farm. Any farms now decorate and prepare their Farm for Halloween so that you can visit the pumpkin patch and experience a family-filled spooky day. Pumpkin carving is also a staple at Halloween, and it helps to bring the whole family together. Set up a carving station at home or set up a pumpkin painting station and decorate it with stickers.

DIY Halloween Costumes 

Rather than buying ready-made costumes from the shop, think about making your own. You can use all sorts from around your home. DIY costumes are great for children to get creative and for them to feel accomplished with piecing together their own outfit. 

For example, you could use an old bed sheet and turn it into a ghost. If you need some extra accessories, you might find a few things at a Halloween store for inspiration.
