Percy's Uni-CORNER
Happy Halloween!

Hi, friends, it's Percy Unicorn! Do you know what one of my favorite activities is? Dressing up and playing pretend with my friends! I like to pretend to be a superhero; can you guess who I'm dressed up as? (Hint: He's also known as the Caped Crusader.) But all of this is why October is one of my favorite months. Do you know what happens on October 31? HALLOWEEN! I love wearing a costume and going trick-or-treating with my friends and family. If you go trick-or-treating this year, I hope it's a tiny bit spooky and LOTS of fun.

Percy's Tip for Grown-Ups: If you're planning to go trick-or-treating this year, check out the American Academy of Pediatrics' helpful Health and Safety Tips before you go!

Why? Because they're perfect for decorating the house for Halloween, and you can use whatever crafting supplies you have on hand! Danya Banya shared this fun craft on her blog. All you need are toilet paper rolls, glue, googly eyes, yarn, and whatever other embellishments you can find around the house.
