Have you heard of Trunk or Treat? It’s a fun idea for community groups like sports teams, churches, even schools. Basically, everyone in the community decorates their trunk for Halloween, they all meet in a parking lot and the kids trick-or-treat from trunk to trunk. It’s such a clever idea! This year is the first year that I’ve heard of it and I love the idea. I’ve teamed up with Nikki of Tikkido and a fabulous group of bloggers to share their ideas for decorating your own Trunk or Treat.
Toy Story of Terror – Trunk or Treat:
For my Trunk or Treat display, I decided to use a lot of the items we already have at home. We love the short movie Toy Story of Terror so we went with this fun theme for our display.
I started with a black plastic tablecloth pinned to the roof of the trunk to hang as a backdrop and base. I made tissue paper tassels for a banner in purple and green and then added a “Happy Halloween” sign from the local dollar store.
I have a couple of tall black candlesticks that I used to hold Halloween-themed lanterns (also from the dollar store) on either side of the display.
I added glittering purple spiderwebs (also from the dollar store) to the black backdrop and put our purple spider as a little guard for the candy.
It was then time to add in all of the spooktacular Toy Story characters. Rex dressed up as a ghost.
Mr. Potato Head dressed up as Buzz Lightyear while Woody dressed up as a mummy cowboy.
One of the aliens went as a cute jack-o-lantern.
Buzz simply went as a special space ranger sent to guard the candy.
The fabulous Wendy of Wendy’s Printable Party made these adorable Toy Story-themed pizza treat boxes. These could be filled with gummy pizza candy or you could go the spooky route and fill them with gummy zombie pieces. I did find some gummy zombie pieces at the store but one of the ingredients was “beef broth”. I think I threw up a little in my mouth – ha! I decided to leave the beef-flavored gummy candies at the store. {wink}
