decisions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Halloween 2020 provides a map of the virus in your area and this is a link to the CDC social distancing guidelines.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While Halloween will be different this year, children can still enjoy costumes and candy&#8211;even if at home. You can do a Halloween parade at home, with parents joining in with their own costumes; you can have a Candy Hunt (like an Easter Egg Hunt); and you can turn the lights down low and tell &#8220;scary&#8221; stories to get in the Halloween spirit (see, as just one example of many, Halloween Stories).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Our costume contest is one way for children not only to be creative with making their own costumes, or adding to store-bought costumes, or just wearing their favorite costume, but also safely sharing what they decide to wear with other children by seeing what other costumes have been posted!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We look forward to seeing all the creative and fun pictures of Kids in Costumes and wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Related links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.destinationsitters.com\/blog\/extra-halloween-candy\/\">What to do with Extra Halloween Candy!<\/a><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that spooky time of year again!
