Here are some other Halloween ideas for going green
Don't go and spend a lot of money on a costume that a child/adult will be wearing for one night. Make something that you already have. The possibilities are endless, have fun and be creative. Ex: Smartie Pants, cowboy, witch and Martha Stewart has some really cute and inexpensive ideas for costumes.
You don't have to give out the sugary substance. Try making something for your little trick or treaters. Give them pencils, small coloring books that you can easily put together, a tooth brush for all the candy they did not get at your house, and even playdough. If you still want to give candy try giving them organic lollipops, a pack of crackers, apple slices, use your imagination.
Don't forget your reusable trick or treat bags. Make something special that each year you look forward to using that bag.
Remember these tips
Trick-or-Treating safety
* children should be well supervised by an adult when trick-or-treating. Older children should trick-or-treat in large groups in well known neighborhoods.
* carry a flashlight
* stick to well lit houses in familiar neighborhoods only
* follow traffic signals and rules of the road
* drive slowly
* avoid taking shortcuts across backyards or alleys. Stick to the sidewalks of well lit streets
Have a great day!!!
