More Treats Than Tricks: Eco-Friendly Costumes
Dressing up for Halloween doesn't have to equal being wasteful or subjecting the kiddos to toxic costumes, dyes and makeup. We've got a trio of resources chock full of treats, with nary a trick to be found.
Savvy Shopping
The good folks at Ecofabulous have got you covered, from full costumes made with renewable resources and gentle dyes to organic animal-print tights and a line of non-toxic "ghouls just want to have fun" nail polish.
Hidden Treasures
In case you end up waiting until the 11th hour and rather literally need to pull a rabbit out of a hat, Ecouterre offers up a step-by-step gallery of costumes already lurking in your closet, from a lumberjack and a private eye to (Where's) Waldo and Dora the Explorer.
Crafty Creations
For the true do-it-yourselfers, National Geographic offers a 7-step guide to creating your own Halloween costumes for the whole family, generating a memorable impression without leaving too much of a mark.
