How to spend a Halloween for children: the preparatory stage

Since Halloween is a bright and costume festival, we suggest starting with the common organizational moments. First, you need to take care of the corresponding "terrible" atmosphere. To do this, decorate the place of the future party with traditional symbols of Halloween: carved pumpkins, silhouettes of skeletons and witches, artificial cobwebs, terrible masks, etc.

Secondly, carefully consider the scenario of the children's Halloween - it will be the half of the success of the whole event that will depend on it. We advise you to start by sending out original invitations to guests. It can be like ready-made cards, or invitations made by yourself. In them you can specify not only the time and place of the future holiday, but also write about the need for a special dress code and warn about the program of the evening. By the way, about the program. Without a carefully thought out scenario, the children's holiday will turn into an unruly sensation. Therefore, be sure to prepare fun contests and entertainment. Among the traditional: catching an apple with a mouth in a barrel, pumpkin golf (instead of a hole - a pumpkin), a master class for cutting out a Jack-lantern, a contest for the worst suit or story. There can be a lot of options!

What treats to choose for children's Halloween

An important part of the party for children on All Saints' Day is the festive table, the menu of which must fully correspond to the atmosphere of the event. Therefore, we will have to try and beat the usual dishes, so that they do not contrast with the general background of the event.

In addition, it is important to remember that the menu for children's Halloween should be useful and diverse. For example, classic spaghetti with meat can be presented in the form of disgusting worms, and ordinary tomato juice beat like fresh blood. But the easiest way to decorate desserts appropriately. For example, it is not difficult to make spiders and cobwebs for chocolate from chocolate, and finger-nails to form nails for biscuits from almonds. Even simple fruits can be transformed beyond recognition, if you put a little imagination. For example, peeled mandarins with a slice of kiwi are very similar to small pumpkins, and halves of bananas with chocolate eyes are cute ghosts.
