Carve a pumpkin with your best rollercoaster face
You didn’t think we’d forget pumpkin carving, did you? You just can’t beat an afternoon of the famous Halloween tradition. So grab a good spoon, prepare to get messy, and start carving. Why not take on an Oakwood challenge just for fun and carve your best rollercoaster face? We’d love to see the results, just tag us using the hashtag #spooktacular !
If you simply can’t bear the sticky fingers, don’t worry, you can still enjoy some pumpkin fun. Why not try painting your pumpkins instead? It involves less sharp objects (and more peace of mind for the parents) and you can still create some pretty impressive artwork.
Go on a ghost walk
Wrap up warm and join your nearest torch-lit ghost walk. Why not visit St Fagans National History Museum to discover the spooky stories of ghostly encounters in the historic buildings of the park. You’ll learn about Welsh superstitions on death, mourning and ghosts, as well as discover why Wales might just be the world’s most haunted country!
Bake a ghoulish batch of biscuity treats
Even the spookiest of monsters get peckish from time to time, so why not organise a baking session of scary Halloween cookies. The kids will love decorating their biscuits with spine chilling designs and you only need a few ingredients to get started. So, what are you waiting for?
