Do fun activities for Halloween without scaring the toddlers.
Many toddlers are frightened of masks.
There are fun things you can do to celebrate the holiday without unnecessarily scaring the little ones. Many churches' children's programs are a good resource for ideas, as they generally steer away from the more demonic aspects of Halloween. One children's director plans a Halloween party with a farm theme each year. She puts bales of hay around the activity hall and decorates with smiling pumpkins and paper streamers. She keeps the room well lit, and asks parents to send the children dressed in costumes that are in keeping with the farm theme.
