Both young and old can enjoy the fun at Halloween. Begin the Halloween preparations by decorating the exterior of your dwelling, in particular the area you wish the costumed children to visit.
Decorations are easy to make and something every member of the family can participate in.
Crumple a ball of newspaper and place it in the center of the square. Join the four corners and bring the ends together as you tie a string around the base of the ghost's neck. Leave the string long enough to allow you to hang the ghosts from tree branches. Offer to disguise the willing participant with face paint and a costume for added fun. Painted faces are safer than masks and light colored costumes are more visible to cars than dark colors.
