With #Halloween right around the corner, here are a few tips and tricks to make your celebration a little more inclusive and sensory-friendly: -Chat with your kids in advance about what to expect on Halloween. Explain how trick-or-treating works, discuss the many sights and sounds, or find a Halloween-themed children’s book to help them get comfortable. -Check your kids’ candy hauls and remove any that may have unpleasant textures or that may trigger food sensitivities. -Have everyone try on their costumes in advance. We don’t want any scratchy tags or irritating fabrics getting in the way of the fun! We hope you and all of our #ShootingStars have a spook-tastic Halloween. #ShootingStarFoundation #EarlyInterventionMatters #SupportChildDevelopment #BuildingBrightFutures #SensoryFriendly

Halloween on a Budget? No Problem! 🎃💡 Halloween doesn't have to break the bank! Did you know that 75% of young adults in the U.S. celebrate Halloween, but most are looking for affordable ways to enjoy the season? Here's how you can create an epic Halloween without spending a fortune: 1. DIY your costume with items from around the house (a white sheet for a ghost? Classic!). 2. Host a scary movie night with friends—free entertainment with just popcorn and spooky vibes! 3. Decorate using what you already have—think pumpkins, fairy lights, and some creepy-crawly designs made out of construction paper. Halloween is all about creativity!

Halloween brings a special kind of magic. There's the creepy costumes, glowing pumpkins, and the thrill of the day. But for our cherished seniors, it can also be a bit overwhelming or lonely if they aren't able to fully participate. Instead of letting them miss out, we can transform this Halloween into an inclusive, joyful celebration. With a little extra thought and care, we can turn ghostly gatherings into unforgettable memories for everyone, and here's how; Before the Halloween fun begins, chat with your senior loved ones about what they’re comfortable with and excited about. Maybe they're up for watching a scary movie marathon or prefer a quieter night of reminiscing about past costumes. Make sure the family knows about any health or mobility considerations, and think about little details like setting up easy transportation and providing quieter spaces when the party gets too loud. To keep the Halloween spirit alive, involve them in activities they enjoy, whether it’s telling spooky tales, decorating pumpkins, or baking up some ghost-shaped cookies. Even a simple costume contest or movie night with classic Halloween flicks can brighten their day. It's about creating a balance between letting them stay involved and providing the support they need. As the night wraps up, remind them that they are loved, not just during the spooky season but all year round. #seniorliving #assistedliving #careoptions #halloween #halloween2024

On Halloween, we put on masks for fun, but in our everyday lives, how many masks do we wear to hide our true selves? Whether it’s fear of judgment, self-doubt, or the pressure to meet expectations, many of us live behind layers we hardly acknowledge. This Halloween, let’s take off those masks - not the costumes, but the ones that keep us from being our authentic selves. Celebrate Halloween by sharing your story on CanMar: https://lnkd.in/dCKgMKtW How do you embrace your true self, unmasked? Storytelling is a powerful tool, and can help so many feeling lost, stuck, or haunted. Together, on CanMar, we create a space where everyone can be exactly who they are. No filters. No fear. Just you. #TogetherWeAreCanMar #UnmaskYourself #AuthenticLiving #HalloweenReflections #Halloween #HappyHalloween #SpookySeason

🎃 Have a Safe and Spooky Halloween! 👻 Halloween is here, and we want to make sure you and your little ghouls and goblins have a fun—and safe—evening! Here are a few simple tips to ensure a memorable Halloween night for all: Glow and Go: Equip costumes with reflective tape or glow sticks to keep trick-or-treaters visible in the dark. Flashlights can be handy too! 🔦 Costume Safety: Make sure costumes are the right length to prevent trips and falls. 🎩 Street Smarts: Cross the street at corners, use crosswalks, and walk—don’t run! Watch for cars, and remind kids to stay on sidewalks or paths. 🚦 Stay in Groups: There’s safety (and fun!) in numbers. Travel in groups, and for younger children, make sure a responsible adult is along for the adventure. 🤝 Check Treats: Before eating any treats, do a quick check to make sure everything is sealed and safe. Better safe than sorry! 🍬 Be Respectful: Not every house may be open to trick-or-treaters. A porch light off typically means no one is home or participating. 🎃 And share your best costumes below 🧛♀️✨ #halloween #october #trickortreat #candy #costume
