You know I get excited about Halloween! Remember our family of 3 costume last year? And this year I will have a crawler… oh the possibilities! So, I’ve never actually attended a trunk or treat event, but it looks so fun! I’ve gathered up 31 super creative trunk or treat ideas! Check it out…
31 Trunk or Treat Ideas
1. I love how simple, yet awesome this mouth turned out. Red butcher paper and white poster board is all you need to re-create this mouth trunk masterpeice. Image via Manhattan Dental Care.
2. This black cat trunk or treat is easy enough to throw together last minute with black sheets or blankets and white poster board. It’s purrr-fect!

7. This Cookie Monster trunk or treat was built with 1/2 inch PVC pipe and then blue fabric was stretched around the frame with zip ties, velcro and duct tape. It’s adorable! More details at Quotes of a Boy Mom.
8. Noah’s Ark 
9. If you’re looking for the easiest trunk or treat idea out there, I give you “I Spy”! Raid the kiddos rooms and stuff your trunk with dolls, balls, and toys galore. Craft up a fancy sign that says “I Spy” and tape it to the top. Bam. You won trunk or treat! Image via Trunk or Treat Decorating.

Creating Beautiful on Less
Thanks for listing our Wizard of Oz trunk or treat! We’ve also done a mermaid themed trunk, which you can find here: http://buymelovestore.wordpress.com/2011/12/26/make-it-monday-a-very-belated-reveal/.
We’ve also decorated my little red car like Lightning McQueen, which is quick and easy. 🙂
I’ve never taken the kids trunk or treating (we do the house to house thing) but those look like so much fun! I guess we’ve been missing out.
We have been doing it for years. It is really a lot of fun and creates a safe enviroment for kids. Instead of running down the street house to house, taking the chance of running out in front of moving vehicles, get treats on a street blocked off to kiddos only.
Some of these ideas are cute! However 14 and 8 are the same picture. While 11 and 4 are the same theme, they are done differently. Other than that, good post.
My family is picture number 20! We also did a pirate theme, and Ghostbusters too with a giant stay puft marshmallow man. Love Trunk Or Treat!
Shawna! How cool is that?! Well, thank you for letting me borrow your picture. Awesome idea! And what super cool trunk or treat are planning this year 😉
We did Christmas! It was really fun and FREE since I have all my Christmas decor from Christmas. 🙂 We used our artificial Christmas tree by putting the bottom 2 thirds inside our SUV and the top third on the top of the tree. It looked like our tree was through the roof. We decorated the top and bottom and lit the top with a battery pack. We put our electric train set under the tree and wrapped empty boxes for presents.
Does anyone know where I could get those giant Hershey bar props in the candy land theme trunk? I’ve been looking everywhere. I was going to have them made but the place I found can’t do it because of licensing reasons.
