So, I'll be looking after two little ones aged 5 and 8 (my niece and nephew) on halloween night, and I'd love to do many fun activities with them, but I'd rather not spend a fortune on halloween costumes/materials.
I've decided not to take them trick-or-treating due to the fact that we live in a city and I don't know their neighbours, and I don't want them to be disappointed if nobody answers their doors.
So far, my only idea has been to build a massive living-room den/fort, and then we can hang out in the den and tell spooky stories to each other.
Anyone else got any inspired, and cheap/free, ideas for ways to spend Halloween? Thanks :)
