Halloween

Windsor and Maidenhead's quick guide to fun things to do this Halloween
 

•    Have a pumpkin trail in your street, town or village.

Have fun with the children either carving or drawing pumpkins and place them in your window. Neighbouring children can have fun pumpkin spotting. You could give your children a prize for the number of pumpkins they spot.

•    Have a pumpkin carving competition with your friends.

Carve your pumpkins with the prize for the scariest!  Windsor's famous Pumpkin Party is back in Windsor Royal Station this year with a competition to judge the best creations!  Book your slot in advance!

•    Have fun decorating your house to make it look spooktacular! 

There are lots of templates and crafting ideas online.

•    Have a Halloween scavenger hunt.

Give your children a list of Halloween themed things to look for when out walking. Spiders or cobwebs for example. You can also do this in your home and hide some treats and spooky surprises instead!

•    Have a Halloween movie night. 

Even for very young children there are some family favourites. Bake some Halloween treats to make it a special occasion.
