Listed below are five ideas for preparing your home for Trick or Treating this Halloween
1. Because people will be coming to your front door for their Halloween treats, it is a good idea to make your home as welcoming as you can, and as safe as possible. A good idea is to make sure your porch light is on during the trick or treating hours. This enables others to feel welcome to come to your home, and the light on will create a feeling of being safe.
2. Get your decorations ready. It’s always a great thing for trick-or-treaters to stop by a house that is clearly enjoying the spirit of Halloween. You don’t have to go all out with the decorations. A pumpkin or two and some creepy signs are pretty much all you really need to give your house a Halloween flavor.
3. Do you have pets at your house? If you have dogs for example, no matter how good they seem to be with children, make sure that they are kept away from the front door when trick or treaters call. For a start some people act nervous around dogs, so this can be a trigger for your dogs behaviour to change.
4. Grab a large bowl from the cupboard, one that you will use for the candy. Trick or treaters will be looking out for this bowl, so it is one of the most important things to get ready for Halloween. You can even do this and put the bowl on your porch, if you are not going to be at home. All you need is some sort of sign that says "Happy Halloween - Please Help Yourself!"
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.
