There is nothing more enjoyable than eating breakfast and watching birds flutter and dance outside the kitchen window on a snowy morning. Unfortunately, while children often wonder at the birds and wish to take part in helping to feed them, there is rarely anything a child can do to help. Here are a couple of suggestions to help them get involved and to let them make their own special bird feeders.

Most children hate eating crusts of bread, but birds love them. Next time, rather than tossing the crust, hand them over to your child with a pencil or straw and have them poke a hole through the slices, about 1 inch from the top. If they wish, food coloring can be used to lightly dab some color on their bread slices, letting them make special designs for their bird friends. The bread should then be left to sit on the counter overnight so that it will dry out. The next day, thread a piece of yarn through them, hang the bread from the branches of a nearby tree and watch feathered friends flock to their new bird feeders.

With a string of yarn, a straw, and some Cheerios, even small children can help create these fun bird feeders. Take the yarn (about 24 inches works well) and tie it around the middle of the straw. This will provide a base, allowing your child to thread the yarn through the cereal, not only making an effective bird feeder, but helping develop motor skills. When they have threaded the cereal up to the top, carefully hold the top of the string and then untie the bottom from the straw. Knot the two of these ends together, forming a circlet of cereal, which can be hung outside as a great bird snack. This can also be done using different colored fruit cereals, helping your child with repetitive pattern exercises.

Letting your child become more involved in tasks like this, not only helps them learn but gives them a sense of responsibility as well. Have them keep track of how long it takes for their homemade bird feeders, so they know when it will be time to make more. Have them make charts or draw pictures of what kinds of birds come to their feeders and let them look through books, to identify who their new feathered friends are. Not only will the birds thank you, but your kids will have a great time too.

Lil' Penguin Deluxe Child

This adorable costume includes a bodysuit with character hood, attached wings/arms and foot covers. One size fits most children sizes 7-10.
Customer Review: Best Costume yet
Arrived when they said it would and looked just like it did online. The best part is that everyone at my daughter's school was completely "wow-ed" by the costume. She still wears it around the house for pretending - it's comfortable and holding up very well.
Customer Review: Nice gift
Sent it to my grandson, age eight, who had just done a Save the Penguins fund raiser for this birthday. He really enjoyed wearing it for Halloween.


Today Halloween is not only geared toward children but the growing number of adults dressing in costume is becoming increasingly higher. While children love to dress up as their favorite characters and walk from house to house trick-or-treating, the trend with adults is the same. They also love to dress up as their favorite characters, but instead of trick-or-treating they dress up for Halloween parties, costume contests, parades or even a night out of clubbing (bar hopping) during the Halloween weekend. Many club owners have extravagant costume contests with the winners receiving some great prizes. This always tends to bring out the competitive side of people making them come up with some really fun and crazy ideas for costumes, and couple costumes are no exception.

Ideas for couple costumes are endless with a wide variety of famous and not-so-famous twosomes past and present. Here are just a few suggestions from different categories for couple costumes:

  • Historical - Cleopatra and Mark Antony; Romeo and Juliet; Adam and Eve
  • Presidential - Bill and Hillary Clinton; Barack and Michelle Obama
  • Movie - Rose and Jack (Titanic); Sandy and Danny (Grease); Bonnie and Clyde; Rhett Butler and Scarlet O'Hara
  • TV - Morticia and Gomez Addams; June and Ward Cleaver; Lucy and Ricky Ricardo; Tarzan and Jane
  • Music - Brittney Spears and Kevin Federline; Heidi Klum and Seal; Ike and Tina Turner; Elvis and Priscilla
  • Cartoons - Fred and Wilma Flintstone, Marge and Homer Simpson; Jane and George Jetson

So if you're looking for something different this year for your big Halloween costume contest, consider grabbing a partner and dressing as a famous couple. Whether it's your wife/husband, boyfriend/girlfriend, brother/sister or even a good friend or co-worker, there is no shortage on ideas for couple costumes, the sky's the limit. Now days, there are so many great Halloween stores on the internet you can find everything you need with the touch of a button. One-stop-shopping, it's that easy!

Halloween Costume Gothic Vixen Pirate Wench

Vixen Pirate wench with velvet double lace up corset dress.


With Halloween round the corner, shops are abuzz with great costumes and some are decidedly scary. However, most costumes overlook an important facet of personality that conveys a dramatic range of emotions with a single 'look'. We are talking about your eyes. No scary costume will work if the eyes are also not properly 'dressed up'. A real ghoul will scare the jeepers out of your friends and family members only if the eyes look actually ghoulish! Theatrical or special effects lenses are just the products to have a fun-filled Halloween.

These are special lenses, an offshoot from the normal contact lenses, which come in varied styles and colors. Picture yourself as 'Lestat' the Vampire, or the Werewolves and Vampires depicted in the 'Blade' franchise. Or perhaps you fancy yourself as 'Violet' or for that matter the good old Dracula. The 'white out' look popularized by the 'Evil Dead' series of movies as well as the various 'Exorcist' horror flicks are a great choice. The special effects lenses industry caters for all such types and even advertises them under the name of favorite ghoulish characters. You may want the traditional 'witch' or wizard look, aim for that 'wild animal' look or try Goblins and other mythical character lenses. Other really chilling eye lenses you don't want to miss are the Banshee, Black Wolf, Bezerker, Starburst, Zombie, Demon Eyes, Whiteout, Blood Red, Manson, Mummy, Cat eyes to name a few.

Wild Eyes and Crazy Lenses are some of the major brands out there in the market. A click of the search button will reveal many more brands with a huge library to choose from. At most shops selling special effect lenses, matching Halloween costumes are also available: a one-stop shop with all you want under one roof. You could also 'mix-n-match' and create your own scary look. For example, combining a vampire costume with cat eyes or a werewolf with a 'whiteout' mummy could give a real fright. If you buy the entire package, you may be in for special bargains too. The price of lenses varies from $35 to $100 depending upon the quality.

It is important to choose the right pair because these lenses, unlike normal lenses, cover the whole eyeball. These special effect lenses are either opaque or tinted and have a small aperture in them through which the wearer can see the outside world. So once you have a pair fitted it becomes difficult to move the eyeballs so skip the strain and take these out no later than three hours after you go on a Halloween rampage. Also to buy them you will need to keep a prescription handy, hence a proper eye care professional's advice is required when trying them on for the first time. As a general rule those with significant vision problems are advised not to wear these lenses. But then, fear not: even if you do have minor eye problems you may be able to wear these lenses but consult your doctor just to be sure. In any case most shops selling these specialty products have eye care professionals stand by to help you try them out. So this Halloween, pick those realistic, scary special effect lenses and go Happy Hunting. Trick or Treat!

With Halloween just around the corner, a comfortable pair of theatrical lenses can really add a lot to your costume!

If your family is like most, you have special holiday celebrations and traditions that you do every year. To display these holiday memories, create a scrapbook to show past years' celebrations. Whether your traditions include Trick-or-Treating, going to the mall to sit on Santa's lap for a picture, or preparing a special holiday meal, you'll have fun looking back to see how your family has changed from year to year while the traditions have stayed the same.

First, decide whether you want to place all of the holiday memories for one year into their own scrapbook album, or keep each holiday in a separate album that shows the change from year to year. You can start with your earliest photos and work forward, or start with recent years and work backwards. It's completely up to you; there is no one right way to make a scrapbook.

Now, gather all of your photos. If you're like most people, you've got boxes of them hiding somewhere. Bring them out, and look through them to pick out the best photos. Don't just pick out the portraits of your kids sitting on Santa's lap or smiling in their cute Halloween costumes. Choose the less formal ones of your family gathered together, too. These will be the memories you'll cherish for years to come. Pick the best photos from each holiday to include in your scrapbook.

Don't just include photos in your scrapbook. Gather together loved family recipes for the food and cookies you make for the holidays. If you have young children, include holiday-themed art that they've made at school, like turkeys made from handprints. Collect your holiday cards and programs from holiday events. Clip out advertisements for the toys your children want for Christmas. Anything related to your family's holiday traditions will be a great addition to your holiday scrapbook!

Once you've picked out the photos and other memorabilia you want to use, find background pages and embellishments. You can use holiday-colored cardstock for your backgrounds, or be creative and use scraps of wrapping paper or pieces of Halloween costume fabric for unique backgrounds. Layer different colors and textures to make a unique page. For a handmade Christmas background, try cutting out a green tree and painting on ornaments. Cut out a paper Jack-o-Lantern for a Halloween themed page, or draw a black spider web behind the photos.

Embellish your pages with everything from holiday-themed cutouts and paper punches. You can even find special paste that dries into 3-dimensional glittery snow. Decorating your holiday scrapbook doesn't have to break the bank. You can make your own embellishments, or choose from a whole array of ready-made decorations at your local craft store. Be creative! No two families celebrate the holidays in the same way, and your scrapbook should reflect your unique traditions. Add to your holiday traditions by bringing out your new scrapbook each year, looking through past years' celebrations together. It can be quite a treat to see past years' celebrations and watch your family grow from year to year. Once the holidays have passed, set aside time as a family to choose photographs to represent that holiday in your scrapbook.

Blueberry Girl Adult

Includes dress, bonnet, and stockings. Shoes and petticoat not included. Available in women sizes Small, Medium, and Large.


Millions of people display Christmas trees in their homes each year, and many of those trees feature the same decorations, year after year: round glass ornaments, traditional lights, some tinsel, and a star or angel at the top. After a while, the traditional decorations start to get a little boring! Why not spice up this year's holiday season with a themed tree decorated in a unique and unusual way? We've got some great tips and ideas to help you get started. Here are a few things you will want to consider in your quest for a new look.

Style:
While it is not necessary to decorate your tree to match the decor of your home, it is a likely result because your home and tree both will reflect your sense of style and decorating taste. You also want to make sure your tree looks like it belongs in your home; that is, you don't want a tree that looks "out of place" with its surroundings.

Color:
A complimentary color scheme between your room and the tree always creates a pleasant look. This does not mean that you have to match your room completely; however, some attempt to tie the colors together is always helpful. A room with black, brown, and beige upholstery and cream carpet looks wonderful with a tree with white lights and silver, white, and gold ornaments. A room with bright colored furniture and walls looks great with a tree and lights with bright decorations that coordinate with the furniture. When choosing colors, don't forget to have some fun!

Scale:
Keep in mind that larger trees need larger decorations. Just as it wouldn't look right to put 12 inch diameter ornaments on a 5 foot tall tree, it would also look strange to cover a 9 foot tall tree with tiny 1 inch ornaments. Remember that the size of your tree should also be in keeping with the size of the space. If you have a larger foyer or living room with a vaulted ceiling, choose a large tree that will make a grand impression. For smaller areas such as bathrooms or hallways, small tabletop trees can make an elegant statement.

Theme:
Now for the fun part-choosing the theme of your tree! If you have a special hobby or passion that you enjoy, don't hesitate to reflect that in a fun tree. For example, if you enjoy baking, put a tree in the kitchen and decorate it with cookie cutters tied with bright ribbons, colorful recipe cards, cinnamon sticks, and home made sugar cookies! If you have a collection of some type, a Christmas tree is a great way to show it off. For example, themed trees are very popular for people who collect model trains, cars, motorcycles, etc. Tie your collectables to the tree and use them as ornaments. If you have a child, make a special tree for their room decorated with things that children love. Some good choices might include color crayons, paint sets, small books, chalk, small cars and dolls. Of course, when decorating a children's tree, it is important to choose age-appropriate decorations. For very young children, be sure you don't decorate with anything that might be a choking hazard.

No matter what your preference, there are no limits to how you can express yourself with your Christmas tree. After all, it is a decoration your home and it should reflect you and your family's tastes! Get creative this Christmas season and think outside the box--you may truly surprise yourself with a wonderful result!

Once you've got your Christmas tree all decorated, you may want to leave it assembled to save time next year. Visit the Christmas Tree Storage Bag Shop to find a storage bag for Christmas trees.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Leonardo Child Halloween Costume Size 7-8 Medium (B195-ST)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Leonardo Costume Includes: Jumpsuit, turtle shell and character mask. Size 7-8.


Pump That Music. What would a party be without music? Now everyone's idea of party music can be different. Maybe your crowd likes pop -- or techno music. But for a Halloween party you'll want to throw in some classic Halloween favorites. Include the music from popular Halloween movies like Scream or even Friday the 13th. Don't forget the Monster Mash -- always a popular favorite. Organize your music ahead of time so you just push and play. Be sure to ask friends to bring along their favorites too so everyone has a chance to listen to their favorite type of music at the Halloween party.

Add Some Special Effects. No Halloween party would be complete without some special effects. You could add some cobwebs in the corners, complete with creepy spiders. Or get into the spooky fog by using some dry ice -- very easy for even beginners to use. There are many Halloween special effects you can purchase that you simply plug in and turn on that are lots of fun. Many are activated by someone walking past them. Check out your local party center for ideas.

Plan a Menu Suited for the Day. Every party needs good food and this includes a Halloween party. If your party is more casual, you could even do something like take out pizza and bowls of yummy snacks in strategic places. Or if your party is more fancy, try for something that really gets attention. The key to Halloween party food is to plan variety and to also be sure there is enough food for everyone to enjoy.

Include Spooky Activities. A Halloween party is the perfect time to tell ghost stories or even to hold a seance. Another fun idea is to have someone give tarot card readings. Or if you plan it right, you can do all three activities at your party! This would be a unique party that everyone would be sure to remember. Halloween is a time when many people are open to trying something a little unique and spooky that they might otherwise not do -- like a seance or a tarot card reading.

Tell Everyone to Dress Up. Who could imagine a Halloween party if people come in regular clothes? Halloween parties are simply meant to be costume parties -- each and every one of them. It can be fun to have a costume contest at your party -- or even a theme for your costumes like couples. There are lots of things that people can do with their costumes. http://www.pumpkinkits.com offers you all the ideas that you need for the best Halloween party ever - prepare to shock your friends!

Got a lot of compliments trick-or-treating with my daughter. Lots of people said they wished they had it for a costume party!


Bachelorette party ideas can be overwhelming and you need to decide which theme you wish to go with and make the best out of it. The first thing to consider is the preference of the bride to be. You want to make her last night as a single woman pleasurable and worthwhile. A bachelorette party is therefore very vital at least to bid farewell to the girl who is about to have a different status. The first of many bachelorette party ideas is to spend a day or even a night at a spa. Whichever the location, having relaxed time with your girlfriends is invaluable. At the spa, you can have facials, mud baths, pedicures, massages, saunas, manicures and others. You are going to be spoilt and you will enjoy every minute of it.

Makeovers are great bachelorette party ideas because the most important thing for girls is to look and feel beautiful and what a better time than now when a wedding is near. You can have a professional make up artist come to the party and give you the best looks you can possibly have. Another party idea that has a lot of popularity is doing some pottery at a local pottery studio. The girls will have so much while undertaking this practical activity.
