Halloween Keepsakes

2014 October 29

Many have fond childhood memories of Halloween; dressing up, the parties, trick-or-treating and of course the candy. Now, as parents you have the chance to help your children create wonderful memories of their own and at the same time, make keepsakes for you to enjoy for years to come.  Your children will enjoy sharing the memories with you too! And sharing this time together strengthens the bond with your children while instilling in them a sense of how special and unique they are.  
 
One simple thing you can do is write or carve the current year into a pumpkin and then have it in photos with your children dressed up in their costumes. Do this each year and you will have a wonderful record of each Halloween.

This cute jack-o-lantern  idea takes care of two things at once. You get your pumpkin carved with a fun design and you have a nice reminder of your child from that year. Perfect for your baby’s first Halloween.

 

Chronicle your child’s growth each Halloween with fun handprint and footprint crafts. You can do the same one each year or to add variety, do the same type of print (hand or foot) each year, but make a different craft with the print.  You will enjoy watching the growth your child has made each year.

 

 

 

 

These fun Halloween pictures, done on canvas, can be brought out each holiday to decorate your home and be a memorable keepsake for years to come.

 

No matter what you do this Halloween, the time spent with your children will create wonderful memories that you will all look back on fondly.

Have a safe and happy Halloween!
