October 22, 24, and 25 – Lantern Luminaries Using family-friendly lights to highlight your front door or windows is a great idea. Create a colourful lantern with paper and vibrant permanent markers, then embellish with googly eyes and other details.
26 and 27 October: Tricky Masks To create your own mask, use fabric and vibrant, contrasting colours to express your creativity. How will you prepare? A sinister goblin? A cunning cat? Or could it be something else?
Enchanted Jars Will Be Lit Up on October 28 and 29. Create an enchanting decorative jar using magic sparkle dust, moss, and greenery. Draw and cut out silhouettes of fairies or goblins to put inside the jar; lavishly decorate with glitter, buttons, and sequins; you could even make lovely flowers out of tissue paper and attach them with yarn. Use a battery-operated tealight to add a magical touch to your jar.
Indoor Halloween activities near me in Coventry
Halloween has been celebrated around for over 2,000 years. The party goes back to the ancient Celtic holiday Samhain, which is held on November 1 and marks the end of the harvest season and the start of winter. There will certainly be Halloween activities near me and you this half term weekend.
People thought “souls of the dead” would visit their homes during this time. To keep the spirits away, the living would dress up in costumes and light bonfires, thus linking witches, ghosts, and goblins to the Halloween event. In the United States, October is full of Halloween events.
