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 , two of my favorite things are in October.  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 too.  This year I am trying to sell ALL three of them on our version of featuring P3 as , P2 as Tinkerbelle and P1 as .

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.
