The Best Halloween Ideas out There!
If your kids enjoy the one day a year where they can fill their buckets with treats, eat almost as much candy as they want and perform tricks, then here are some fun costume ideas where they can bring along their scooter too! Zip from house to house, avoid sore feet and of course... collect as much candy as possible before it's too dark :)
Micro scooters have the best range of kid’s scooters to complete the trick or treat trek. We have three wheeled scooters engineered specifically for preschoolers and kids to help develop their balance and coordination. Micro also has an extensive range of kids scooters for those who want to roll around and collect their candy on two wheels. Not to mention it's the perfect solution for parents too - to help burn off the kids sugar rush.
But first here's a quick Halloween History...
Halloween is one of America's favourite holidays. It originated from the Celtic Festival of Samhain over 2,000 years ago. On the 31st October at the end of the summer harvest, it was thought the dead would come back causing trouble and damaging crops. They would light bonfires, dress as ghosts, sing and dance to ward off roaming ghosts. Now it's a children friendly holiday where kids can go trick or treating around the neighbourhood and an excuse to play dress up.
