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.
