If your terrifying toddler isn’t quite old enough to hit the streets for trick-or-treating, you can still get involved in some spooky fun that won’t give your mini monster nightmares. Check out these eerie Halloween events for the under-fives:

Mothercare Edmonton's Trick or Treat Fancy Dress Party, Saturday October 24

Spooky Stories: Teeny-Tiny and the Witch-Woman, Thursday October 29
