Sparkle Weekly Wonderings: The Wonder of Halloween

Halloween is one of our favorite holidays. When our kids were younger, we’d go full tilt. Not only would we all dress up, but we’d put on roving Halloween plays or fire-lit Halloween parties.

The best part about Halloween for us has not been the candy or the spookiness, but instead the possibility for magic, for wonder, and for playfulness. Yes, our kids came to love the trick-or-treating and the candy as well, but they still maintain the interest in experiencing themselves in a fun and creative way.

What are you up to this Halloween? Would you like to infuse it with a little extra magic?

If your children are younger, then try Martin & Sylvia’s “Halloween Fairy Ball.”

If your children are older, try the “Halloween Wonder” story, or the Junkyard Tales “Halloween Story.”

And then watch to see what happens. We find the stories do the work of inspiration, and you just have to follow your children’s lead.

May you enjoy an experience of play and playfulness, of magic and wonder on this coming Halloween night!
