Halloween with Preschoolers
My four year old is pretty excited about Halloween, and I’m not even hyping it up. We went to Costco to purchase costumes a couple of weeks ago, but other than that it’s a pretty quiet subject. Still, she sees jack-o-lanterns and other decorations when we go for walks around the neighborhood, and she notices all of the orange and black bags of candy at the grocery store. It’s hard to ignore, even if you try and keep the buzz minimal.
As much as I’m looking forward to taking my girls trick-or-treating, I’m also a bit apprehensive. With a two year old and a four year old, I’m sure we’ll encounter something at some point that may be too spooky. Maybe it’ll be another child’s costume or an enthusiastic neighbor’s decorations, so I’m doing what I can to make Halloween lighthearted. We don’t want to miss out on trick-or-treating of course, but how can we make Halloween less spooky for the little ones?
I wanted to share this post with you – I found it helpful, and I hope you do as well.
