Create a Simple Green Halloween!


Halloween is right around the corner!

Check out our top picks for a green Halloween from start to finish!

 



THE COSTUMES:
Imaginations Rule!  Let your creative juices flow! Be inspired by what you already have in the closets and crevices of your home.  This year's costume is just waiting to be created!

Did you know…many store-bought costumes are made with PVC?  PVC (polyvinyl chloride has been found it be a probable carcinogen).

THE DÉCOR:   
Nature-made!  Let decorative squashes and gourds take center stage.  Home-spun spider webs and carved pumpkins with LED tea lights are sure to be a hit!

Did you know? ...Halloween is the second largest purchasing holiday next.  The sad fact is that most of what is purchased ends up in our landfills in a very short period of time. 
 

 THE FOOD:
Healthy Harvest!  Adult parties—brew up a batch of pumpkin soup made from local, farm bought pumpkins.  Kids' parties:  ghostly bananas and tangerine/clementine pumpkins with be gobbled up by those little monsters!

Did you know?…Reducing the amount of sugar children and adults consume helps to stave off Type 2 Diabetes as well as reduce inflammation, allergy symptoms, sinus congestions and many other health issues.
*Ghosts are banana halves with raisin mouths and eyes. (To help prevent browning, dip bananas in lemon juice or 7Up before inserting raisins.)

*Pumpkins are tangerines/clementines with celery stalks for stems.

THE GAMES:
Get Physical!  Kids are sitting for long enough periods is the classroom, get them out and moving!  "Treasure Hunt"  --kids look for hidden treasures in a giant leaf pile. 

** Need suggestions?  Find gently used small toys at your local thrift store or get erasers and pencil grippers you can bag up and hide in leaf pile.  Avoid sharp objects as the children may be tempted to jump in the leaves! 

 
THE CLEAN-UP:
Clean'n Green!  From dishes to floors—Harmony Aromatherapy Cleaners has the green cleaners for party makers!  A non-toxic clean is the best way to top off your party.
