Listed below are five ideas for preparing your home for Trick or Treating this Halloween
1. Ensuring that you have made your home safe and welcoming, for those who will come to your door trick or treating. Leaving your porch light lit is one way to make your home safer, particularly when people are out trick or treating. Doing this will make others feel welcome, and will also allow them to feel safe being that the porch is all lit up.
2. Make sure that your Halloween decorations are all ready. Trick or treaters love the idea of calling on those homes that are clearly into the Halloween spirit. There is no need to go overboard with your decorations. If you have some pumpkins scattered around, and maybe some creepy signs dotted here and there, this is what Halloween is all about.
3. Are you someone who has pets in your home? Dogs in particular should be kept out of reach of the entrance used by those trick or treating, no matter how well the animal relates to children normally. Some dogs may get spooked by some of the costumes that will be appearing at the door, so there is no guarantee that your pet will act as normally as they usually do.
4. Having a great big candy bowl is something that you will be needing. Most trick or treaters will keeping an eye out for that candy bowl, so don't overlook the importance of the bowl. Even if you don’t intend being home, you can still prepare a big candy bowl. Erecting a sign that welcomes people to help themselves to your candy is one way of letting people know.
5. Make sure that the pathway to your porch is clear and safe to walk on. Also make sure that your sprinklers get turned off for the night, as you don't want kids getting saturated as they collect their candy, although it could be funny to watch - resist it! A well lit path is a safe path.
