The Family Halloween: Things to Do as a Family on Halloween
Fall and the Trick or Treat season offer so many choices for family members to spend quality time together. Here are just a few ideas.
Visit A Local Pumpkin Farmstead.
Throughout the month of October, pumpkin suppliers usually have fairs like live music, hayrides, and crafts, not to mention the opportunity to hand select your very personal pumpkin right off the plant.
Pumpkin Painting
Paint your halloween pumpkins instead of carving them. Carving pumpkins is a great hobby during Halloween, but this can be dangerous to small kids. This is great for kids who want to celebrate the Halloween like adults safely.

Create an Eerie Halloween Record Together.
Is there a graveyard nearby? Why not make a movie as a family while you’re all in your scary halloween costumes? You can roleplay as your characters and create a story from your imagination.
Take a video of mom or grandma cooking creepy Halloween cookies or Grandpa drinking greenish looking witch’s brew (it’s just lemonade with green food coloring). Capture the moment when the youngest member of the family dresses as a goblin and tries to feed a piece of macabre heart (cookies wrapped in blood-red icing) to his trusty demon hound (your pet dog in his own costume).

This is a great hobby to put together an enduring home ritual. The entire family will get to decide on the characters, now and then making non-living things like pumpkins and candy corn come alive. Once you create the personas, the background and the narrative, you will be flabbergasted how much each family member wishes to play a part in the legend. Set aside your annual account in a DVD, CD or a folder and read or view the homemade videos or stories from previous years. It’s a remarkable memory.
