TRICK OR TREAT!<br />
Three Tips for a frighteningly fun Halloween… without breaking the bank!<br />
66Ad.indd 1 18/07/2019 18:43<br />
Whether it’s trick or treating, carving pumpkins, apple bobbing or lighting a bonfire, Halloween season can quickly become an expensive<br />
time of year for families. Following America’s lead, Halloween in the UK has gained massive popularity, with statistics showing that Britons<br />
spent £419 million on Halloween in 2018. However, the holiday for all thing’s horror, hilarity and fun does not need to break the bank every<br />
year. Primary Times have put together 3 different ways to have a frighteningly fun Halloween with the children, without the hefty price tag.<br />
Homemade<br />
Trick or Treats<br />
Whether you’re planning on<br />
heading out trick or treating on<br />
Halloween night, or just having a<br />
spooky night-in with the kids, the<br />
sweet treats don’t have to cost<br />
a fortune. You could make your<br />
own sweets by melting leftover<br />
chocolate into spooky shapes or<br />
branch out with your treat selection<br />
to offer your children fruit, popcorn<br />
or party rings.<br />
Crafty<br />
Costumes<br />
Shop-bought Halloween costumes<br />
can look great, but often come with<br />
a price tag to match. For an equally<br />
effective result, try making and sewing<br />
your children’s costumes yourself<br />
using items from around the house.<br />
A yellow shirt and some overalls<br />
can make a cute Minion, some black<br />
clothes and white tape will transform<br />
your children into scary skeletons.<br />
Party<br />
Games<br />
Party games are a great way to<br />
add activities this Halloween<br />
without any additional costs. You<br />
could try the ‘Halloween Feel<br />
Box’, a fun sensory game where<br />
the children have to guess the<br />
different household items in<br />
the box, or ‘Pin the stem on the<br />
pumpkin’, a spooky alternative to<br />
‘Pin the tail on the donkey’.<br />
