5 Ways to Enjoy Halloween at Home

Halloween will be a bit different for many of us this year. You may be used to having parties or going trick or treating, but Halloween isn’t completely cancelled… there’s still so much fun you can have at home! We’ve put together some of our favourite ways that you can enjoy the spooky season at home.

Make Some Spooktacular Treats

Whether its marshmallows or fruit, you can easily add a fun Halloween twist to some of your favourite classic treats! Some of our favourites are white marshmallows ghosts using black icing and marshmallows, mini bat treats using Oreos and peanut butter cups, and strawberry ghosts using melted white chocolate and black icing! 

Create a Halloween Treasure Hunt 

Think Easter egg hunt, but Halloween style! Why not hide some of your favourite sweets around your house or garden and let the children loose to find them all! This idea is a perfect at-home alternative to trick or treating.

Carve Pumpkins 

A classic way to enjoy Halloween is carving scary (or fun!) faces in pumpkins. There is a range of amazing templates and resources available across the internet to give you some inspiration!

Create Spooky Shadows

Use a blank wall (or a closed blind) and a torch to create spooky shadows! Simply turn the lights off, turn a torch on and use your hands to make some spooky shadows, or even print out some ghostly pre-made templates! This is a great idea for the little ones to get creative! 

Have an at-home Halloween Party

Use your Halloween treats and carved pumpkins together and turn it into a Halloween themed Party! You can play Halloween themed games, make Halloween arts and crafts and, most importantly, get dressed up in your spookiest outfits!

From all of us here at Direct Order Blinds, we hope you have a spooky and fun-filled Halloween!
