When should we start planning our family Halloween fun?
Start early enough to enjoy the excitement, not rush through it! A little planning now means a whole lot more fun (and fewer “boo-boos”) later.
Mid-September:
- Brainstorm costume ideas and DIY decor projects.
- Start collecting craft supplies and treats for goody bags.
- Make a family activity calendar for Halloween events and movie nights.
Early October:
- Decorate the house — both inside and out!
- Begin making or buying costumes.
- Test out Halloween recipes or snacks for parties and school events.

Mid to Late October:
