8 COVID Friendly Ways to Trick-or-treat

trick or treat

Happy Halloween. The spookiest, fright induce day is just around the corner. Unlike last year we are all looking forward to donning our costumes and buying bags and bags of candy for the trick-or-treaters. Although the virus is still around, the fear has lessened, and we have learned to keep moving forward with our lives and plans. That is due in large part to the vaccine. We can feel better knowing that Halloween events that we attend require the vaccine as well as knowing that our kids are around adults that have been vaccinated. However, we know that the vaccine is not for everyone, and to help offset those worries this Halloween, we have produced eight covid-friendly ways that you, your kids and your neighborhood can safely trick-or-treat. So, grab those costumes, buckets, and candy and hit the streets. 

Covid-19 Friendly Trick-or-Treating Ways

1. Clothing line

This used to be known just for drying clothes but not anymore. Halloween has brought out the creatives and now you can expect to see them in front yards with candy-filled goodie bags and full-size candy bars hanging from their pins, primed and ready to be plucked.

Masks and gloves are recommended when overseeing the candy. 

2. Witchy Handout

Become the neighborhood witch in this covid-friendly idea. Witches are known for brooms and cauldrons. Grab both and an extra-long ladle and you are ready to dish out loads of candy in a safe way.

3. Goodie Bag Station

I love this idea. You get to still participate and make sure the kids are safe at the same time. Set up a table outside, decorated with Halloween galore and set out pre-packaged candy bags that the kids can come up and take with you watching from the garage or doorstep. This can also be used for those in apartments.

Just set out a BIG bowl on a chair in front of your door and have a sign that says pick one or two and fill out the bowl as needed. Gloves are recommended when packaging the candy.

4. Halloween Candy Hunt

Just like during easter when you hunt for easter eggs. You can do the same this Halloween. Use bags or dixie cups to hold the candy and then hide them throughout your house or backyard and let the chase begin. This is a safe way to keep the kids
