Kids knock on doors at Halloween. They then say Triick or Treat. Hopefully they get candy.
Kids wear costumes and ask for candy in their neighborhoods. The main difference is that instead of saying "trick or treat" when asking for candy they say "Halloween, Halloween."
It'm amazing how simple a good costume can be to make! Look at http://familyfun.go.com/halloween/halloween-kids-costumes/ for some good ideas. Happy Halloween
Pumpkins are always an easy way to decorate and include your kids. You can also use modeling clay and this you can make at home with easy to make dough and food coloring.
Kids can wear just about anything on Halloween.... fursuits? Why not?
There are several ways to make an easy Halloween costume for kids, such as cutting two eye holes in an old white sheet to make a child look like a ghost. Alternatively, use toilet paper rolls to make a child look like a Mummy.
The opposite of "treat" at Halloween is "trick" (although few modern kids resort to mischief or vandalism if they don't get their candy). The opposite of "a treat" or luxury item would be a necessity. The opposite of the verb "treat" (medically) would be to harm or injure. To not treat is to ignore or neglect.
Some ideas for Halloween treat bags include getting goody bags at your local party store. Fill them with items like erasers, pencils and little trinkets. Also include a sucker or a few select pieces of small candy. The kids will love it! The little kids especially love bubbles.
how did the ~America tradition of trick or treating on halloween begin
Halloween has been a big night for kids to trick or treat for many years, so in that respect, it is not necessarily growing. In recent years, more people have decorated their homes with lights and Halloween decorations, so that seems to be growing in popularity.
You can find some Halloween craft for kids at Walmart, your local Halloween store, or at target. You can even make your own at your house for Halloween.
Easter is like a scavenger hunt, where you find eggs (fake eggs filled with candy) and Halloween is when kids dress up in costumes and say trick or treat and then gets a handful (or two) of candy.
