In lieu of a Halloween party, Summers-Knoll has traditionally held an "Eco-Fair". This is always a day of meaningful, creative and (especially) fun activities.
Children are encouraged to wear costumes, but with a twist. The costumes must be made of recycled/reused materials. Please let the children take the lead in designing their costumes – this should be a lot of fun! It doesn't have to be difficult, either - and you probably already have most of the materials around your house.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Robot – use a box for the body, vent tubing from a dryer to make arms, veggie strainer for a helmet
Laundry basket – cut a circle from the bottom of a laundry basket to fit your child, make clothes pins for the suspenders
Flower – green sweatshirt and sweatpants, make pedals out of paper
Dalmatian – white turtleneck and white pants, put blacks dots on them, draw whiskers and a nose
Recycle Bin – Cut a hole in a box that has been decorated with the recycle symbol
Bunch of Grapes – Purple sweats with purple balloons
Bubble gum – dress all in pink
Pile of leaves – attach a bunch of paper or real leaves to a red sweatshirt
