I will be absolutely heartbroken if Halloween is canceled.
All of our children have had such a weird year and deserve some resemblance of normalcy.
I really feel like there are ways to make Halloween still happen, even for those that are nervous about the virus.
The people from Wicked Makers on YouTube designed an amazing Halloween candy slide that you can build!
The idea of the candy slide keeps the 6 feet social distance, but allows the kids to still collect candy from you!
All they have to do is hold their candy bag or bucket at the end of the slide and the candy will fall right in! They don’t have to touch anything or even get close to people.
The DIY Halloween Candy slide is made with PVC pipe and fittings, spray paint, mummy wrapping, and a fake skeleton!
They were going with a mummy theme, but I am sure you could come up with other designs as well.
Maybe you could make it a neighborhood competition for the best candy slide!
It seems super simple to build! You don’t even need power tools, although that would make it faster!
You can cut PVC with a hacksaw and they do demonstrate that in the video.
You can watch the video below to see how it’s made!

Cool design……will try it. What else have you two made?
Melanie Gorman says
How will you keep the children 6 ft apart?!
Doug says
meanwhile ,the virus can be on the actual candy wrappers.. so there’s an extra step in the spread…
be sure to soak your candy in 80 proof liquor before you eat it!!!

Hi I and the director of Slave Free Chocolate. We are an organization that works to eradicate child
labor and child slavery in the chocolate indutry. We run a large awareness campange every year and would like to promote this idea on our website.

This looks like a fun project. I am going to try this and add a fog machine to it.
One suggestion take a look at the prices on electrical grade pvc pipe. In My area the grey PVC conduit is cheaper than the white plumbing grade.
Thanks for the idea.

Love this! Can’t wait to think of the perfect sign to go with it!
Robert says
Dentonite here! This is a good idea!! FWIW there’s an even EASIER way to cut PVC and you can pick it up from Home Depot or wherever you get the PVC. Its basically a lot like a pruner for bushes, but its ratcheted in order to increase the bite force and the blade in the thing is specifically designed for PVC and it cuts like butter … okay, cold butter, but still.

Love it! But then I went to NTSU in Denton TX back in the day…Here in Montana we usually have our first winter storm the end of October. Many is the time my kids dressed in there ski gear to go Trick or Treating. I am thinking we can rework this to make it a dragon. Thanks for the inspiration!
Tom says
Nope. Don’t know where you live but I’m not sitting outside in Chicago to slide candy to kids just because of Halloween.
Rob says
I’m in Minneapolis, and will totally do this if the city allows trick-or-treating this year.
Lucy says
I’m in Chicago too and I love sitting on the drive with a fire pit, handing out candy. This year I won’t have to panic about the fire pit either because the children will be at the end of the drive. Great idea!
Lisa says
I’m sure everyone is better for you staying inside. Let’s just celebrate that people are trying.
Shelley says
Run it out through your front door or window if it’s super cold. Better yet, get a fire pit some friends and some adult drinks, sit outside and stay warm that way.
