Six quick Halloween recipes an older child can make while you've got a baby in your arms. Skill levels, choking guidance and one hot step at most.

Non-food trick-or-treat ideas organised by age, with choking, latex and battery warnings, allergy inclusion and low-waste options.

An adult-and-child carving guide with a clear task split, safe tools, battery lighting and what to cook with the flesh and seeds.

If you have the opportunity to choose your Halloween pumpkins from a farm this fall, I would encourage you to do so.
