With so many fun Halloween activities for kids to choose from, parents often forget that their little ones might not know much about the holiday or why it exists in the first place. The most important thing to keep in mind when teaching your kids about Halloween is to keep it age appropriate. Some of the themes and concepts behind the origins of the holiday can be too scary for younger children so keep it light and focus on how the holiday is celebrated today. You can even share a little bit with your children about Halloween traditions from around the world and ways to celebrate the holiday. You can also show them old photos of how you celebrated growing up. Finally, consider familiarizing your children with the fall harvest season. This is a less spooky topic that children of all ages can learn about and a great way to give your kids an appreciation of where their food comes from.
