Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I have learned, however, that not every child enjoys enduring fright just to get a miniature Snickers bar. I would probably walk through an open flame for chocolate, but that's just me. We have had foster children in the past who have never trick-or-treated, or hadn't been out for a couple of years. When you're only seven-years-old and skipped Halloween the past two years, the memories are a bit mixed up.
So, I put together some quick ideas to help foster children or newly adopted children with Halloween. I also thought a bit about some good, old fashioned Fall fun ideas. It's sometimes the simple things that many kids miss out on.
For those of you who have adopted internationally, how did you prepare your children for Halloween? It can be a bit scary for children who are completely new to the holiday.
