Or, maybe you love to ferret out that last piece of chocolate in a bag full of candy corn, gummy candies, and lollipops. Nothing will compare, though, with the adventure of going trick-or-treating for the first time with your preschooler!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The tradition of trick-or-treating<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The tradition of trick-or-treating can be traced back to medieval Halloween celebrations. By the late 1800s, children in Scotland and Ireland would go \u201cguising\u201d on Halloween, donning disguises and going house to house for cakes, fruit, and coins. Children \u201cguising\u201d around a North American neighborhood was first recorded by an Ontario newspaper in the early 1900s.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>First time trick-or-treating<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even if you and your preschooler are trick-or-treating novices, you can take a few simple steps to ensure an evening of fun!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Map the Route<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Map out your route ahead of time, whether that of a local Halloween block party, the streets around the grandparents\u2019 house, or a festive downtown square. Knowing ahead of time where to park and if bathrooms are available can help to simplify the outing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Choose the Costumes<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Work on costumes together during the weeks leading up to Halloween, and once they are finished, look for opportunities to wear the costumes before the holiday arrives. This will spread out the fun and help to raise your preschooler\u2019s comfort level as well!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Enjoy the Adventure<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During trick-or-treating, stay connected with your little one by asking questions with open-ended processing questions, such as \u201cWhat do you see in this yard?\u201d and \u201cWhat do you think that costume is?&#8221; The new sights and sounds can be overwhelming the first time. Talking about it helps to remind your little one that you are on an adventure together!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/waterside\/2019\/08\/30\/encouraging-your-preschooler-to-try-new-sports\/\">\u00a0Encouraging Your Preschooler to Try New Sports<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkids27tx.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Waterside<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Richmond, Texas?
