The forecast doesn’t have to ruin your kids’ Halloween this year. Whether you’re also expecting rain or you don’t want it during Halloween, here’s how to prepare if you want to brave the weather (or find something else fun to do entirely).
You can buy a clear raincoat that can show off their costumes while still protecting them from getting totally drenched. But your best choice is probably going to be layering. If you know you live somewhere it’s likely to rain, choose a large enough costume that allows warm pants and a raincoat to fit underneath. The costume will get wet during trick-or-treating, of course, but your child should stay warm and dry underneath. Keep in mind that the plastic pumpkins many kids carry along to collect their candy will also collect water. So you might want to bring along something else to put the candy (or pour that water) into as you go. Illumination(照明) is especially important in the rain, so tie a glow stick around their neck so they can be more easily spotted by you.
If it’s torrential(大雨倾盆的) or unsafe, it’s possible you’ll simply have to move the party indoors. If so, your community will likely have some indoor options available already. Nursing homes and retirement communities often put on trick-or-treating events. The residents love seeing the kids in costumes, the kids get a lot of candy (and attention) in a short amount of walking, and it’s a good opportunity to let them make more friends. If you need to stay home, there are creative solutions from our pandemic days. Plus, if you don’t have trick-or-treating, all the candy you bought goes to your kids, and you can have a movie night with the best treats already on hand.
