A Fun Halloween Activity for the Kids

October 29, 2018

PR Sample
Halloween is literally right around the corner. It’s one of my favorite holidays, but not for the dressing up part… I love Halloween because I love filling treat bags for the neighborhood kids. I remember a fun Halloween activity that we did when my kids were young called “Booing.” Have you heard of it? The idea is for little ones to leave some goodies on a neighbor’s doorstep without being seen, then encourage the recipient to pay it forward to two more friends. It’s a fun way to surprise the neighborhood kids.
My kids are grown now. However, I love this idea and thought it would be fun to teach the neighbor littles about this fun tradition. I filled a bag with treats for the kids who live next door to me. I loved hearing the happy squeals upon discovering the treasure I left on their front porch.

Help your kids start a BOO in your neighborhood:

  • A few days or weeks before Halloween, work with your kids to put together some simple and festive treats. Think pretzels, temporary tattoos, a Halloween pencil and, of course, Go Organically Organic Fruit Snacks. To hold the goodies, you can use a plastic jack-o’-lantern bucket or a plastic witch’s cauldron that can later be repurposed for Halloween parties or trick-or-treating.
  • Download and print a YOU’VE BEEN BOOED sheet and attach it to the basket. It includes a frighteningly fun poem to let your recipient know what’s afoot! Note that the sheet includes a URL at the bottom so people can go online to print additional copies and keep the party going. The poem reads:
YOU’VE BEEN BOOED
With fall upon us and Halloween near
A ghost dropped by to spread some cheer
Enjoy these goodies left at your door
Then get new treats and boo two more
Surprise a friend but stay out of sight
Let’s spread some cheer by Halloween night!
  • Once you’ve assembled the basket and attached the poem, it’s booing time! Take your kid to their friend’s house and sneak up to the doorstep together to leave the goodies without getting caught.
Be sure to follow Go Organically on Facebook for more kid-friendly ideas and inspiration!

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too.

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖
