Playing ‘trunk or treat’ instead of going door-to-door for Halloween is a great way to keep the holiday safe and fun. Here are some creative ideas for an animal-themed trunk or treat to decorate your car.
If you’re attending a trunk and treat this year I’ve hooked you up with some over-the-top car & trunk decorations featuring ANIMALS with Halloween pictures for you to be inspired from.
What is a trunk or treat? A Trunk or Treat is a fun Halloween holiday event where families decorate their cars and park them in a parking lot with their trunks open for kids to go trick or treating. You can also decorate your car and drive around to different houses in their neighborhood for candy.
Some animals are easy to find when Halloween rolls around. But not all of them. Here are some ideas for making your own animal trunk or treat to help you through the trick-or-treating season.
Animal Trunk or Treat Ideas
1. Zoo Decorated Trunk ~ Raid your children’s stuffed animals to decorate a zoo. Spray painted wood dowels work great for the bars.
2. Petting Zoo ~ If you have lots of caged animals at home, load them up in your vehicle and you can have an instant petting zoo. A fun interactive theme because we all know kids love to touch animals!
3. Noah’s Ark ~ This is such a fun and creative idea! Gather up your kids’ stuffed animals and place them in the trunk of your car. You can even dress up as Noah.
4. Owl Themed Trunk ~ Cardboard and construction are perfecting for constructing an owl themed trunk.
5. Black Cat ~ If you have a black car this cat theme is perfect for you. Use cardboard for the teeth and ears and pool noodles for the whiskers. Meow!
6. Frog ~ Transform your car into a huge frog complete with a huge tongue using plastic table cloths and construction paper.
7. Fish Tank ~ Fill up your trunk with blown-up balloons in shades of blue. It’s perfect for water. Add some fish and voila!
8. Shark for Trunk or Treat ~ Decorate your car into a shark for trunk or treat for a homemade Halloween.
