Three "boos" for an eco-friendly Halloween
It seems as though the more kids I have, the more inclined I feel to get into the spirit of each upcoming holiday. But aside from a bunch of freshly picked pumpkins on our porch I'm still hard-pressed to spend money on a bunch of disposable Halloween decorations.

But reusable ones? Now you're talking.

The adorable Halloween banner found at Green Planet Parties is right up my alley. These handmade "Boo" or "Trick or Treat" banners are perfectly festive, with the glow in the dark fabric (so cool!) and bright orange felt lettering that works for a playroom, fireplace, even a ghoulish addition to your kiddo's daycare or preschool classroom.

What a fun, eco-friendly way to celebrate the holiday, store, then reuse year after year. -Kristen

Order the handmade Halloween banners at Green Planet Parties, a fantastic shop for the eco-minded party throwers.
