Not Allowed to Celebrate Halloween
Oct 2nd 2011, 10:00

Yes, most of us look forward to Halloween night. It's not only a lot of fun for children, but for most adults too. But, there are times when a foster child is not allowed to celebrate Halloween due to birth parent's request or a foster child's religion. Here are a few ideas of fun things to do if your foster child is unable to celebrate Halloween.

  • Rent movies, stay home, and eat pop corn.

  • Start a new tradition - order pizza and stay home telling each other dumb jokes. See who can tell the funniest story.

  • Attend fun fall parties that some communities or churches offer.

  • Bake cookies together.

  • Build a scarecrow together for the front yard. Set up other fall decorations like gourds, pumpkins and bales of hay.

  • Some children may enjoy putting on a fashion show.

  • Have fun completing a fun fall craft like a turkey with hand print feathers, simple hand print turkey, or double hand print turkey.

  • Go out to a movie knowing that the theaters will be pretty empty.

  • Go to a book store and buy a book that you can read to each other.

  • Go to a book store and buy a craft book or a book with projects. Go home and complete a project.

  • Try a new recipe that uses Halloween candy. Odds are good that it'll be on sale at the stores if you buy it on Halloween night.

  • Work on the child's lifebook with the child.

  • Write a letter to the child's birth parents, if appropriate per case plan.

  • Enjoy many of the other fun fall options mentioned in the article, Fall Fun for Foster and Adopted Children If Halloween Is Too Scary - Fall Fun May Be the Answer.
