Halloween is truly a special and unique time of the year, when crisp morning air meets frost-covered grass, cozily draped pajamas become outfit staples and nights spent sitting by the fire become part of life once again. October brings us all a wave of nostalgia as we recall past Halloween celebrations and fall festivities with fondness.
While Halloween activities may be exciting, what truly counts when creating lifelong memories with loved ones is spending quality time together. We’ve put together this list of Halloween traditions you should try if you already have some or are searching for new ways to spend quality time. So let’s get moving! Let the festivities commence!
Halloween Arts & Crafts Although arts and crafts might appear like they’re only intended for kids, arts & crafts activities can actually be delightful and therapeutic for people of all ages! Grab some supplies, put away electronics, open up Zevia cans, and let loose on something creative together with family or friends! Are you in search of some craft ideas to get the ball rolling? Below are just a few options to get you going:
Ghost Garland: Cut ghosts out of craft paper and string them along a piece of string for an eye-catching display. Ghost Hand Prints: Trace around your hand in reverse position then color its details for ghost hand prints. Paint Mini Pumpkins: Paint festive designs or faces on miniature pumpkins to complete this fun activity!
Bathroom Paper Tube Bats: Reusing old bathroom tissue tubes (which would serve as the body) with paper wings attached will create bat-like creatures!
Leaf Artwork: Gather some vibrant fall leaves and some crayon shavings, arrange them between two sheets of wax paper, and gently press with an iron on low heat – this may cause the crayons to melt slightly which helps hold everything together! Additionally, using colored paper adds depth by providing extra body.
Don’t forget to display all your children’s artwork when finished – it will add decorations and show their accomplishments! Your little ones might love showing their masterpieces to everyone in their family!
Once upon a Time, there was an amazing witch who would visit all the children on Halloween Night to give out gifts or prizes that she collected from those leaving candy out for her to take back if there wasn’t any left for herself! She would collect this sweet bounty in exchange for something very special: larger and better presents could result from more sweets being left behind! This legend became the legend of The Change Witch
The story of the Change Witch is both delightful and wise; tell it to your children as an engaging tale or even create your own book to read aloud to them. Not only will telling this tale bring pleasure and wisdom for all involved parties involved, it can also serve to reduce how much sugar kids consume unknowingly during Halloween too! Each aspect works seamlessly together!
As Halloween nears, neighborhoods become illuminated with magical lights, creepy decorations and glowing Jack-O-Lanterns that fill the street. But you don’t need to wait until Halloween night for that experience – pack a warm beverage in a thermos bottle and take an evening stroll throughout your neighborhood to spot decorations or tell scary tales as you go – not only is this an effective way of getting extra practice together and building lasting memories, it is also a fun and efficient way to practice driving together!
Make Spooky Snacks
There are countless creative and delicious Halloween recipes out there these days – with even healthier-for-you versions available too. Halloween doesn’t need sugary treats to be enjoyable – get out with family or friends to create tasty creations together while making memories!
Here are just a few of our Halloween favorites:
Batty Zevia Root Beer Donuts: These chocolate donuts make delicious treats resembling mini bats! They make for the perfect afternoon treat!
Zevia Orange Pumpkin Pie: Delectable pumpkin pie enhanced with aromatic spices and notes of orange.
Zevia Boozy Cream Soda Pumpkin Floats: Enjoy this delectable treat that tastes just like pumpkin pie with notes of pumpkin, spiced apples, and fall herbs all rolled up into one delicious drink!
Zevia Ginger Ale Pumpkin Mud Cake: Forget sugar or mess; this easy treat offers fall flavors like no other.
Ginger Pumpkin Pancakes: Delectable Pumpkin Pancakes With an Extra Kick Of Ginger: Experience delicious pumpkin pancakes made even better by adding ginger.
After working hard in the kitchen, reward your kids with some delightful Zevia Kidz! Our delicious flavors are extremely refreshing and will go perfectly with all your Halloween snacks!
However, their actions would bring nothing but trouble and they should stop acting this way immediately.
Take a Drive
One of the best ways to enjoy autumn foliage is taking a drive through its majestic forests, taking note of their vibrant colours dappled through trees. Pack up snacks and your favorite Zevia flavors before heading out; local neighborhoods often contain some stunning examples! For an additional delightful trip experience, pull over for picnicking, strolling through and listening out for crunching leaves beneath your shoes!
However, with over three centuries of combined history.
No One Needs a Halloween Photoshoot (But Make it FUN!) No one ever looked back upon their life and lamented having taken too many photographs; each image protects a memory indefinitely. This year is your opportunity to create and capture everlasting memories with an Halloween Photoshoot! Whether it’s throughout October or on a specific date – no matter when or how it happens there will only ever be one key ingredient: FUN! Your children need to enjoy themselves during any family photos taken of them; otherwise it will show in their footage, making the entire experience boring or miserable for everyone involved. So it is imperative that this eventful journey remains exciting. Host a dressing up fashion show, tell them to race through leaf piles or turn it right into a scavenger hunt, then once the photoshoot is done create an album or scrapbook from all your pictures that can be enjoyed every Halloween! And this activity doesn’t need to just involve children: Grab your significant other, best friend and pets for some memorable photos; no one’s too old for some festive fun!
There’s something deeply unnerving about sitting through an entire movie without being able to stop moving or reacting, for hours on end, even with all my best intentions of stopping my body moving at exactly the same rate! So for your safety – and for mine too – here’s to hoping the magic continues for many more years yet to come…
Boo Your Neighbors! Booing can be both educational and enjoyable! To start spreading some Halloween joy throughout your community, fill 1-2 bags or baskets with Halloween goodies before beginning booing your neighbors – then get ready for fun! Take your bags and drop them at one of your neighbor’s doorstep. Ring their doorbell before quickly fleeing so no one sees who it was who delivered your deliveries. Leave each bear remember with instructions, along with an illustration depicting an ghost who says: “I have been scared.” (You can find such illustrations online and print them). So when someone got “booed”, their neighbors will put up ghost decorations so we know not to repeat our mistake! Over time, more ghosts will begin appearing throughout your neighborhood’s homes! Not only is this fun exercise for children (they get to run around on secret missions!) but you are doing something positive while getting into the Halloween spirit!
Halloween can be an exhilarating adventure full of autumn activities such as trick-or-treating and costume parties with family and friends – though, unfortunately not all can partake. Here’s your opportunity to join in all the Halloween fun this year – give once again! As parents it’s essential that we educate and remind our kids that while Halloween brings many advantages to them, they should also show kindness toward those less fortunate than themselves. Bring some treats, food items or gifts and head down to your local homeless shelter, nursing home, animal shelter or children’s hospital – the internet offers plenty of helpful resources that can show you ways you can volunteer or assist your community – it might only take small gestures like these to change someone’s day!
While other areas such as banking are experiencing increasing demands from their customer, others, like those located near airports, may remain resilient against such efforts to achieve prosperity through investments or savings plans.
Happy Halloween!
We wish you an enjoyable Halloween by exploring traditions and finding unique approaches to make it enjoyable and memorable – remember, what truly counts is spending quality time with loved ones while creating lasting memories – make sure to come back next week for another Zevia Weblog post!
