home and still let them enjoy this holiday.
5. Use Gloves
If you are old-fashion and want to see the trick-or trickers as they come up and ring your doorbell. Then I say, just use gloves and have a bottle of hand sanitizer nearby.
As the kids come up, hand over the candy (in bags) and change out the gloves frequently or use hand sanitizer to sanitize them as you give a bag to each kid.

6. Hand sanitizer & Candy Bowl
You want to keep it simple and let the kids dig for their candy. Then all you need is hand sanitizer to help you.
Keep it next to the bowl and before the kids reach their hands inside, quirt a little bit into their hands and all is well. They are keeping themselves and others safe while also getting as much candy as possible.
7. A line of Twine
Like the clothing line but instead uses a fence to pass out the candy. Decorate your fence with festive Halloween-themed twine while pinning candy pieces throughout the length so the kids can go by and grab a few pieces on their way to another house.
8. Vaccine specific Treasure Hunt
Your kids want to go out and you want them to only trick-or-treat at houses you know are safe. Well, you can make have this by taking them to houses you know are vaccinated. These can include co-workers, extended family and/or neighbors on your block. You have talked to them before, so you know they are vaccinated, and you feel safe with them handing out candy to your kids.
In the end, it is a special holiday, one that brings out the creative side in kids and adults. After the year we had, we all deserve to see each other smiling and enjoying our community in the safest way possible. These tips can help you and your family and community enjoy the night while protecting each other. Get out there and bring a smile to kids and adults alike. Maybe, make a competition of who can design the scariest covid-friendly trick-or-treat method. Happy Halloween to All.
