6 Hauntingly Good Tips!

A big move can feel like navigating a haunted house, especially when you have little ghouls and goblins in tow. Don't let the process spook you! With a little bit of magic, you can turn a potentially scary experience into a monstrously fun adventure.

 Here are 6 terrifyingly good tips to make an upcoming transition a howling success:

 1. Cast a Communication Spell

It's important to keep your little monsters in the loop throughout the entire moving process. Tell them why you’re moving, what spooky new adventures await at the new home, and how they can stay connected with the friends they're leaving behind in their old haunt. Kids can sense when something is brewing in the cauldron, so telling them early is key.

2. Scout the New Haunted Grounds

If you can, plan a "haunted tour" of your new neighborhood before the big move. This gives your ghouls and goblins something exciting to look forward to. Explore local parks (or graveyards!), find the best spots for trick-or-treating, and maybe even find a new favorite ice cream parlor. Creating positive memories will make the new place feel less strange.

3. Make the Chore a Monster Mash

A little friendly competition can get your kids creepin' and crawlin' with excitement for packing! Turn packing into a game. Who can pack their "potion" ingredients (toys) the fastest? Our Moving Game is a fang-tastic tool that turns the process into a race, ensuring everyone stays on task.

4. Plan a Return to the Old Graveyard

Saying goodbye is tough, especially for kids. Ease their worries by scheduling a visit back to your old neighborhood after you’ve settled in. Having a trip to look forward to can be a huge comfort and makes leaving friends feel less permanent.

5. Prioritize Their Lair

When the moving truck arrives, make sure your children's rooms are the first to be unpacked. This lets them get involved right away and gives them a sense of ownership in their new space. Consider letting them give their new room a spooky makeover! A new monster-themed bedspread or glow-in-the-dark stars can make their new lair feel like home.

6. Pack a Survival "Coffin"

Have every family member pack an essentials box—a "coffin" of comforts—for the first night. For your little ghouls, include their favorite blanket, some spooky snacks, a few beloved toys, and pajamas. Keep this box with you so it’s the first thing you can open, ensuring a comfortable first night in your new haunt. 

Moving with your little monsters doesn't have to be a horror story. With some extra planning, you can ensure the whole family settles in happily, without any tricks, only treats!
