Starting a "BOOvement"



What's a BOOvement you ask?  It's an opportunity to feel like a kid again and share treats with your neighbors.  It's simple to start a BOOvement in your neighborhood, office, or apartment building.  Here is what you do:

1)  Create a bag or basket of Halloween treats and goodies.
2) Create or find a cute "We've Been Booed" sign accompanied by instructions.  I did a quick Google search and found this fun sign by Anders Ruff
3) Print a copy of the boo sign along with the instructions and add them to your goodie bag. 4) Now the fun part! Select one or two neighbors to get it started and drop your packages off on their porch.  Be sure not to let them see you!  
5) Enjoy seeing the "We've Been Booed" signs all over your neighborhood!


A great place to start is  the dollar section of your local Target store or even a Dollar Tree where you can find Halloween themed goodies.
Pencils/Pens
Notepads
Coloring books
Crayons
Reflector bracelets
Glow sticks
Glow-in-the dark fangs
Stickers
Pumpkin scented soap/lotion
Candles
Battery tea lights for pumpkins
Pumpkin carving kit
Halloween book
Halloween masks
Candy
Fruit Snacks
Individually packaged goldfish or pretzels
A package Halloween Oreos
Wine or Beer for the adults
Halloween notecards
Homemade goodies
Homemade Halloween game

Remember, the goodies can be as simple as a small bag of candy as the fun truly is in the act of booing and your neighbors will be excited to find a fun surprise at their door.

Hattie and Harper helped me get the booing started and we delivered goodies to two of our newest neighbors on Monday.  It was exciting to sneak up and deliver the goodies to our neighbors without them knowing. It was also equally as fun getting booed back tonight! The kids were so excited and Harper exclaimed "ooohhh it's Halloween!" when he saw the treat bag!  Our treat bag had eye masks, glow in the dark bracelets, fruit snacks and some yummy candy. The twins loved it!




What are you waiting for!?  Start your own BOOvement today! 


Happy Booing!
