Knoepfler Chevrolet Blog: Easy Trunk or Treat Ideas

A Trunk-or-Treat event is a new take on Halloween trick-or-treating. At a trunk-or-treat event, which usually takes place in a parking lot, you walk car to car to trick-or-treat instead of visiting house to house. The event is great for little children, because there is less walking and its a safer environment. Participants hand out the candy from the trunk of their vehicles. Some people go all out for this event by decorating their vehicle to match a different theme, movie or event. We complied some easy and fairly inexpensive ways to dress up your vehicle for a Trunk-or-Treat event.

1. Big Mouth

Cut teeth out of construction paper and a large tongue out of a plastic table cloth to make the mouth. Then fill the mouth up with candy!

2. I Spy

Your vehicle can become an interactive game by requiring the children to at least find one "I Spy" item before they get a piece of candy.

3. Andy's Room from Toy Story

If you have a child that's a Toy Story fan, this idea is easy to put together. Create a small bed and fill it with all the characters from Toy Story to create "Andy's Room".

4. Spiders

Create an easy spider's web by visiting a Halloween store for fake spider's webs and large spiders. The children will be nervous to reach in for candy!

5. Drive-In

Paint a large piece of cardboard to look like your favorite drive-thru restaurant.

6. Sports' Tailgate

Gather all of your tailgating items and sports memorabilia to easily create a sports themed vehicle.

7. Beehive

With the help of a yellow tarp or plastic tablecloth, you can transform your vehicle into a beehive. Participants can dress up at the bumble bees to add to the theme.
