Multiple Momstrosity: Halloween Decoration Scavenger Hunt

Halloween Decoration Scavenger Hunt

So, it's official Trick or Treating has been cancelled in Ontario COVID-19 hot spots, AKA our neighbourhood. I can't say that I haven't been bracing myself for this for months now, but it's still disappointing. Especially since Halloween won't be on a weekend night again until 2025 and I don't know how thrilled a pair of 14 year olds are going to be about Trick or Treating with mom and dad.

Just the same, we're going ahead with costumes and safe Halloween celebrations. One thing we're doing to ensure our kids get their Halloween candy fix is to let them enjoy a Halloween decoration scavenger hunt. The prize for completing it, candy, naturally.

We're going to head out to a Halloween friendly area, with lots of decorations and the kids will have little clipboards with various things to check off. When they complete the hunt, they'll get their prizes.

We also plan on completing our scavenger hunt well before the 31st as we expect many people will take their decorations down early to show they're complying with public health orders.

Here's the complete scavenger hunt M&J will be working on next weekend. Feel free to use the ideas for your own little ones. If your kid isn't a reader yet you can use pictures of these items to help them on their quest. Got older kids? Let them use their (or your) phones and make it a photo scavenger hunt! If you have any items you think we should add, let me know, the kids could always use additional challenges.
