While we humans tend to get excited and go romping out into the neighborhood, frolicking through fallen leaves, ringing doorbells and bringing home the rewards of our labor in the form of sweet treats, many of our animal companions find this time quite stressful. Unlike their owners, cats and dogs don’t always enjoy the fun spirit of Halloween. Your pet does not realize the Halloween costums and sounds are make-believe and the people behind those getups are just that…people. You may find that your animal will panic when you answer the door for trick-or-treaters or when you dress up in your Halloween costums.

Keeping Your Easily Agitated Pets Safe from Harm

If you’re hosting a party in your home or invite trick-or-treaters to your door, one of the best ways to keep Fido (and those who are visiting) safe is to remove him from the situation completely. You can kennel your animal somewhere else for the night or put them in a room that’s off limits to guests. If your cat or dog is normally skittish around people, it’s best to keep them away from all the commotion on Halloween.

While many animals will freak out from all the holiday hoopla, there are some who love it just as much, if not more than you do. Here are some tips to allow your people loving, socialite pet to get involved in the festivities in a safe way.

Let them enjoy your visitors – from a distance.

You may find that your pet is not bothered by the costumes at all. Maybe your puppy or kitty likes to go to the door and welcome your guests. If this is the case, make sure he or she does not dart out the door while you’re handing out treats. Try leashing your animal within a safe distance from the door so they can enjoy the guests while remaining safe inside.

This will also help the children who like to see the animals but don’t want to touch them or be close to them. Because animals scare some children while others get very excited and want to run toward them and be the aggressor, a leashed animal will help you stay in control of the situation and allow both the children and your pet to enjoy the experience.

If your kid’s Halloween costums are ready the only thing they need now is a trick or treat bag. While you can buy this from the store, you can save money and be creative at the same time if you are able to make this on your own.

The first thing you have to do is look for an old shopping bag. This should be able to carry a lot of candy and should not break because of the weight. Ideally, this should be color orange as this is often associated with Halloween.

Since your kid can’t go around with a gift bag featuring the logo of the department store, it is time to decorate the trick or treat bag. For that, look at some templates online and then print it out.

Now trace the picture onto tracing paper using a pencil and then cut it out. Tape the cutout onto a sheet of black construction paper and center this in the middle of the bag. Push the construction paper down so it will stick well on the trick or treat bag and all air bubbles have been removed.

There are some designs that you can get that will require more than just pressing it on the bag. You may have to iron it into the fabric similar to what is done to a shirt that has no distinctive markings. When you do it, make sure there is a cardboard placed in between the two sides so the colors do not bleed from one side to the other.

You can also create a trick or treat bag by drawing the design and then pasting it. Some examples which are popular include the ghost, skill or pumpkin. You then cut it and then repeat the same procedures as the one mentioned before.

To make the trick or treat bag more decorative, add some Halloween stickers or sprinkle some glitters after mixing this with some glue. You can also use this to write their name so no one will get it by mistake.

Another way to make a treat or trick bag is to buy some fabric from the store and then sew it together. Since there is sure to be leftover material, use this to create handles and then label it using some thread or with craft paint sticks.

Before you let your kid walk out the door with it, test it to make sure that it won’t suddenly burst open once it becomes too heavy. You can do this by putting candy and then leaving it for an hour or so since this is about the same time that your child will be out. If nothing happens, then it can withstand the weight even if your kid is walking with this from house to house.

You don’t have to pay much for a trick or treat bag when you can make it at home. One of the benefits of doing it is to reduce the chance that someone in the neighborhood will have something similar to what your kid has.

When Halloween is all over, you can keep it and then use this again for next Halloween. But if your child wants something different, that is perfectly because they will most likely wear different Halloween costums next year and the trick or treat bag should always match the outfit.

Is your pint sized Fairy ready to spread her wings this Halloween? Fairies are very fashion conscious so you might want to treat her to a new costume. There may be plenty of the ugly and the un-dead about on Halloween but the nicer side of magic is also represented, so it’s okay to be a Fairy on Halloween.

Don’t let your little pixie hide under her mushroom with nothing to wear. It’s time for her to gather up her fairy dust, wipe down her wings and brush up on her magical incantations. This Halloween let your little girl’s imagination become a reality with a real girl Fairy Halloween costume.

If your Fairy can light up the room with her smile, send her out in the Rainbow Ballerina Toddler or Child Costume and let her light up Halloween. The costume has twinkling fibre optic lights set in the skirt and the dress and sleeves are adorned with a colorful rainbow. She will literally light up the night and there’s no question, she’ll look positively magical.

There is no creature more beautiful or mysterious than a butterfly. The Pink Butterfly Fairy Child Costume will have your fairy ready to flutter from flower to flower this Halloween. The pink satin dress with the ruffled skirt and green petal accents are just the perfect camouflage amongst the daisies. Her pink wings will have her spreading magic where ever she goes.

We all know that Fairies only exist if you believe. One look at your little girl in the Tink and The Lost Treasures Deluxe Child Costume and you’ll know for sure that they do. The green dress with cute Tinker Bell cameo above a layered tulip skirt will make her look a treasure. It’s topped off with a little green caplet to keep her Fairy shoulders warm while she flies around. And when she’s feeling a little flight-exhausted and needs a good lie down, the wings can be detached.

The Fairy who’s a little good and a little bad might prefer the Skulls and Stars Tween Costume to show her dual personality. The bodice of the dress is black and the skirt and top have silver stars. The costume has a pink trim and belt – but the studs on the belt, black wings and white skull images suggest she’s not always the perfect Fairy. The costume is topped off with gray and black leggings, a pink choker and charm.

There’ll be no shortage of ghosts, ghouls and zombies roaming the streets this Halloween. Why not contribute a little positive magic to the night? Someone has to keep evil in check and who better to balance things out than a good Fairy or two. And let’s face it, the world could do with a little more good magic.

Who wants to run with the un-dead anyway? They usually smell awful and they have a bad habit of leaving parts of their body behind as they go. If your child prefers a sweet smelling Halloween with a touch of magic, there are just two things you’ll need – a kids Fairy Halloween costume and a little belief in magic.
