Halloween Costumes, Colouring and Crafts
It’s fast approaching that spooky time of the year again – HALLOWEEN.
Many kids love this occasion as much as Christmas with all the house decorations, trick or treating, parties and all those chocolates and sweeties. 
You can buy some great Halloween costumes for children from your local Matalan store and the prices start at £10. The costumes shown are Girls Harlequin £31 and Boys Wolverine £22.
To get your kids in the mood print off some Halloween pictures for them to colour in. My 7 year old grandaugher and her friends love coming round mine to spend an hour or two simply colouring-in (TK Max often have a very good selection of great colouring pens) – try supercoloring.com for some inspiration and make sure you have plenty of A4 paper.
If your kids are into crafting and making things then check out Activity Village – I love this paper plate spider.
Water Bottle Spirals
I love these and they’re so easy to make and you can hang them anywhere – make a spiral tree in the garden.
You will need:
dry water bottles
permanent marker pens
scissors
Make sure that the bottles are totally dry, inside and out. When you’ve removed the base and the top of the bottle, you could use a hairdryer – but not too hot or it could melt the plastic.
Once dry let yours and your children’s creative juices flow and get colouring – with stripes, downward and horizontal, stars, circles, bands etc.
Let the ink dry and then start to cut slowly, from the bottom, untill you have your spiral. Gently tugging them to expand slightly – hang and enjoy.
Costway 8ft Play Dome & Slide
I had one similar to this for many years for my granddaughters – they loved it. Climb on it, climb in it, throw a sheet over it and it’s a den, play target ball games with the frame – brilliant!
This does look complicated, but it is easy to assemble and once assembled it is very strong. Ours lasted for years and remained sturdy throughout.
My granddaughters had hours and hours of fun, and it is so versatile – apart from climbing and dangling from it, they used it as a den and it’s great for ball games as well.
This version includes a small slide for younger kids and is available in blue, green, orange, red and yellow.
