There’s 36 more days until Halloween! Sure, Trick-or-Treating is mostly for younger kids, but Halloween is also the time for haunted houses and hayrides, costume parties, parades and dances. Now is the time to plan and make costumes and decorations.
Perfect for parties and dances, glitter pumpkins add some glamor to your decorations. You can use real or fake pumpkins.
- Costumes
Make your costume out of duct tape! The library has a lot of books on how to make halloween costumes.
- Duct Tape Mummy Pumpkin
No carving needed! This Mummy Pumpkin is on page 33 of Stick or Treat by Patti Wallenfang. Other duct tape pumpkins include the Eyeball pumpkin, the Witch pumpkin, The Rollin’ Pumpkin, the Diva Pumpkin, and the De-bone-aire Pumpkin.
