Here are my top 10 ideas for what to do during the month of October to celebrate Halloween on a Family Night
1) Go visit a pumpkin patch. There are so many to choose from you can go to a new one every week. We try and do this at the begining of the month so we can pick out our pumpkins
2) Have a science experiment night with dry ice. The kids get such a kick out playing with dry ice. The babies loved the bowl of soapy water with dry ice in it. Just google dry ice and you'll find so many things to do. Youtube is a great resource too.
3) Spend the evening making your Halloween costumes.
4) Decorate the inside and outside of the house for Halloween. Go crazy and make a haunted house in your front yard. I wish my house looked like this, but I got this picture from Good Housekeeping.
5) Halloween craft night. There are so many ideas on the internet of craft ideas you can do for Halloween. Here's a cute and easy project to do together. This craft project came from Family Fun.
7) There is always a party or 2 that I have to bring treats to so I like to use our Family Night to make the treats together. Again the internet has many fun Halloween treats to make, but this is what we are doing this Friday night. Although Grammy sent us the instructions and the ingredients in the mail you can find the recipe at http://www.parents.com/
8) Watch a favorite Halloween movie or TV show. What about the annual playing of "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown". It airs on ABC on Thursday Oct 27th at 8pm.
9) Candy Science Night. This is a good way to use up all that candy without eating it. Did you know if you leave a Skittle in water the "S" will float to the surface. Check out this website for some great candy experiements you can do. http://www.candyexperiments.com/
10) Last is ALWAYS pumpkin carving night for us!!!
