Halloween is one of the best holidays of the year. For all of the talk about tricks, it is almost 100% treats.
Candy is the most popular treat, but the greatest treat for me is spending time with my kids. I love encouraging their imagination when they choose what to be for Halloween. I love walking through the neighborhood trick-or-treating with them. And I love eating their candy when they go to sleep. (Shhh. Don’t tell them.)
This year, my daughter and I did something we’ve never done before. We made homemade costumes. Not only was it fun, it also provided great family time for us. The idea was sparked by a campaign this year by Laffy Taffy that encourages families to get crafty and make costumes with supplies found around the house.
We chose to make spelling bee costumes and all we needed was:
- Yellow Shirt
- Black Pants
- Black Fabric Paint
- Black Marker
- Cardboard
- Yellow Yarn
You can watch how we did it here:
I don’t know about you, but I think we’ll be getting lots of Laffy Taffy candy this year when we go trick-or-treating!
You can also participate in Laffy Taffy’s ‘Spooktacular Family’ Costume Challenge. All you need to do is post a picture or video of your costume on Instagram with the hashtag #HaffToLaff and tag @LaffyTaffy in your post. Laffy Taffy will be judging the best costumes based on originality, humor, aww inspiring and creativity. You can also submit your DIY costume here.
Thanks to Laffy Taffy for sponsoring this post!
