Looking for some Halloween-related coloring pages? Here are several free resources. Download, color, and use as decorations, on your trick-or-treat bags, or as a card! You’ll find everything from Frankenstein, skulls, Dracula, jack-o’-lanterns, devils, witches, ghosts, cats, pumpkins, clowns, and so more! Most are static pages that are printed and colored with crayons or markers, however, there are several that can be colored online. I especially love the Coloring Page Creator that allows kids to “create” their own coloring page including adding their own text. (more…)

Our Simply Spooky costume was reviewed at 3Ps in a Pod – here’s a bit about what mom had to say about our Pirate Costume:

Have you noticed where you live that the mornings and evenings are a bit cooler?  I have and I am loving it!  Fall is my favorite season of all.  Maybe that is because my birthday and Halloween, two of my favorite things are in October.  Halloween was such fun as a child and now that I have kids of my own, it is fun all over again.  We like to plan ahead for our costumes too.  This year I am trying to sell ALL three of them on our version of Peter Pan featuring P3 as Captain Hook, P2 as Tinkerbelle and P1 as Wendy.

We were totally in luck on P3’s costume because Connie over at Princess Time Toys & Pets sent me an adorable Simply Spooky Pirate Wench costume to test and give her my opinion on.

It’s that time again! Time to start thinking about what the kids will be for Halloween. If you’re like me, though, you start obsessing about this the day after Halloween is over. I love Halloween.

We’ve added a new line of girls costumes in the $22-$26 range (this is an introductory special price),  just in time for Halloween!  We’ll be introducing one a day, but we have very limited quantities of these costumes so please order early if you’re considering one.  All are made by Little Adventures, the same company that makes our fabulous line of dress up clothes.  You’re little one will be enjoying this long after the holiday is over.

Adorable Non-Scary Witch Costume for Girls ages 3-8

This adorable costume is new for 2009!  This is one cute witch!  The sides and back of the bodice are deep purple with a paler purple  inset accented with bright orange ribbon criss-cross details.  The lime green sleeves and hip drape are covered in a witch’s best friends – spiders!  The skirt of the dress is black China Silk. Add our petticoat slip for fuller look.

This is a complete costume – kid-sized elasticized black hat with green spider print ruffle.

SIZE:  Generally fits children ages 3-8 (the bodice is very stretchy). Total length from shoulder to hem is approximately 30″.

CARE:  Machine Washable, Cold Water, Line Dry, Cool Iron.

TYPE:  This is a costume quality garment meaning that while most seams are rolled and finished, not all are.  This is the Halloween Costume line of Little Adventures.
