Halloween is even more fun when you get ghoul-y with sustainable activities using what we have around the house!
Family & Friends Costume Competition!
Host a costume competition with friends near or far (since we're so used to Zoom). The only rule is you have to use what you already have in the house (no new purchases allowed!)
- Bring old costumes back from the dead
- DIY some classics (bed sheet ghosts anyone?)
- Get crafty (Tie Dye is in right now….)

Zero Waste your Pumpkin
After the pumpkin has played its traditional doorstep role, give it a second calling! Make a Pumpkin seed snack, DIY bird feeder, or nutritious fall feast for the backyard squirrels - just don’t let it go to waste!
Most importantly, after you're all covered in makeup, glue, glitter and chocolate icing…. Enjoy a good clean-up job, care of Rowdy Kind.
Ps. Don’t feel like doing any of the above - that’s cool too. Get a giggle with these Halloween Puns: https://www.countryliving.com/life/a23012541/halloween-puns-funny-cute/
