Materials needed: 2 dozen plum colored balloons (We got them from a florist for a deep colored, thick balloon.), purple sweatsuit (or a purple outfit of a thick fabric), small safety pins, green felt.  Put on the purple sweatsuit/outfit. Blow up the balloons with air and pin them all over you.  Use the felt to make some leaves to put on your head or as a neck-piece around your neck.  Take some extra balloons with you - some will pop amid the crazy Halloween excitement! -- Susan from TX
