For those who are not doing the traditional Trick or Treating, can you share what kind of fun things you are planning to do with your little ones? We will be staying home, and I am trying to come up with ideas of fun things to do throughout the day.

I’m doing a Halloween party for my son. Mostly baking throughout the day. And that night watching Halloween movies. I do plan on making him a Halloween basket with his favorite candies and maybe a blanket some toys.

I want to take to them to the store and have them pick out a few bags of candy (all the stuff they like without having to sift through what they don’t like!) and then hide it around the house, turn the lights out, light some candles, give them flashlights and play silly halloween music while they look for it. Then watch “spooky” movies when they are done while they eat the candy. When I was a kid, we weren’t allowed to “celebrate” Halloween - so we would cover all the windows and eat popcorn and play board games all night.

We’re going to make pinatas!
Last year we bought one since it rained ALL day! We still enjoyed ourselves!
We are doing a non contact trunk or treat for family and close friends
We turned our house into a haunted house. The kids peeled grapes for eye balls, spaghetti for intestines, played haunting music then invited our neighbor (1) person to come over. The fun was all in the prep!
We are still attending a party Friday, and trick or treating and having a party Saturday. We are proceeding just like normal. No reason not to

A haunted Halloween hunt.
It was already a tradition to watch a spooky movie for us (usually after trick or treating while they are their candy.) But I plan on carving pumpkins, roasting marshmallows, and I was thinking of replacing the full on costume with face paint (maybe like sugar skulls). We also build a Day of the Dead altar, and on the day after Halloween we go visit gravesites of family member, bring them flowers, clean the area around the grave, ect. Can’t decide if I’ll buy a bunch of candy or bake a bunch of sweets together.
My in-law and I decided to get our girls together (maximum 5 people there and we’re always together) to have a little halloween party for them
We are going to Six Flags.
I am going to do a Halloween scavenger hunt for candy. Then we are all going to watch Halloween movies in costumes!

Bbq, party, outdoor movie and leaving out candy on our fence with a big sign for kids that still show up.
Scavenger candy hunt. The Halloween tree by ray brabury themed Halloween party including turning our tree into A Halloween tree. Making Halloween crafts and treats. Halloween games. pumpkin carving. making Gravestones for our Haunted graveyard Halloween movies
just a few things we are doing
We are doing a piñata and dressing up. Scary movies, hot chocolate, smore. Board games ect.
I’m trying to come up with an alternative for if beggars night gets cancelled like I’m pretty sure it’s going to. I know we are going to get costumes and dress up regardless. Depending on the weather that day we might go out and walk the neighborhood anyways just to walk and we’re going to buy candy but other than that I’m not sure.

We’re doing a scavenger hunt this year
We are trick or treating 
During the day we will do crafts & make treats. At night I’m turning off all the lights except for Halloween lights (like Christmas lights), playing spooky music while we play games, watch a movie & eat our treats.
We’re doing an Easter egg hunt type thing with candy instead of eggs, dressing up and doing fun photos at home, carving pumpkins, and doing fun crafts/baking
We are doing a Halloween basket (kinda like easter) and then playing fun board games and watching scary movies.
Candy and scary movies
Before my state’s governor said he wasnt canceling Halloween this year, my husband and I decided we were going to set up an entire day of fun activities where they got to earn “surprise” candy, help me bake some cupcakes, have a goodie bag and then my mom and sister were going to help us and be behind every door in our apartment and let them knock on the door to Trick or Treat. We’re still going to do some activities but bake after we go Trick or Treating early now.
Pumpkin shaped eggs for him to find around outside and then decorating cookies or cupcakes
Going to eat popcorn and watch a movie in our Halloween pajamas
My son is going he will have gloves and a full face mask. I will lysol all his candy before he gets to try anything. He has been looking forward to this all year and im not once again telling him no.
Decorating the house and we’re wearing Matching pj’s and watching Halloween movies all night. We’re all sleeping in the living room and eating snacks and candy to our hearts content.
I am doing a treasure hunt for candy in the house for my little dinosaur and put up decorations
A scary 
movie! Carve pumpkins! Popcorn and candy! Roast smores!
Probably Easter egg hunt style indoors. Gotta figure out what twist I can add to it though. Maybe in the dark with glow sticks.
Our alternative plan this year is a “horror” movie marathon (halloween town, hocus pocus, other kid friendly scary movies) with popcorn and possibly and friend over, in costumes with a fall/halloween photo shoot. Heck we might even do both
Have a treasure hunt for treats,build a fort with sheets and enjoy each other,have fun

The local cheering group will come and decorate your house Halloween weekend with candy for a donation to their group. Gonna do that, and one of the local businesses is doing a trunk or treat with contact free candy. Im gonna sit at the end of my driveway with snack size bars and use my alligator grip to hand candy to those who drive by.
I’m do a Treasure hunt for my kids. They will still gey to dress up in costume and be given the first clue that will lead them to the next clue , each clue will be small easy to solve riddles or puzzles that uncover the next clue until they finally find the booty (a chest filled with candy). I think they are going to love it
We are planning a party for the kids and play games and face painting and giving treat bags. Safer that way i think because the kids mostly likes the treats they get.
Mostly going to make a fun bag at home (like an Easter Basket) and luckily she is still small enough to not fully know what is happening even though she knows what is happening with the pandemic we will stay inside
I am going too let my kids picked out bag of candy make popcorn rent movies on TV and have a night in
My nephew has CF so we will not be trick or treating. We decided we’ll have grandparents, aunts, and uncles over. We are going to dress the kids up, and adults will stand in different rooms (hopefully ones that close) bedrooms laundry rooms, and kids are going to go around and trick or treat in the house. Then we’re going to have an adult vs kids Halloween scavenger hunt outside
My daughter is only 10 weeks but if she were old enough we would dress up, have a candy hunt on our property, (like an Easter egg hunt) then make “spooky” snacks (pinterest!) and watch Halloween movies.
