Halloween is going to feel a little different this year. But that does not mean it can’t still be fun! The CDC has released guidelines for keeping everyone safe while trick or treating:
- Avoid direct contact with trick-or-treaters.
- Give out treats outdoors, if possible.
- Set up a station with individually bagged treats for kids to take.
- Wash hands before handling treats.
- Wear a mask.
- Try to say 6 feet away from people who do not live with you.
- Bring hand sanitizer along while trick-or-treating and wash hands thoroughly when you get home and before eating treats.
If you don’t feel safe with trick-or treating, don’t despair! There are lots of other ways to have spooky fun on Halloween:
