Halloween is three weeks away.  If you are still contemplating what your little one will be for Halloween this year there are tons of great no-sew options out there.  Two years ago I made my husband and myself no-sew Crayon shirts.

The Jim Henson Company has all the right ingredients for a spooky fun holiday!    In October there will be:

In Haunted Roundhouse, dad takes the kids on a special Night Train to Troodon Town, where the Troodons have decoratedtheir Roundhouse into a “haunted house” for a spooky party. The kids end up meeting a strange new nocturnal creature – a mammal named Vlad Volaticotherium, who was hiding in the roundhouse trying to get some sleep.  And in Big Pond Pumpkin Patch, the Pteranodon family learns more about the customs of their neighbors, the Lambeosaurus family, when they are invited for the first time to accompany them to the Big Pond to celebrate “Gourd Day” – a kind of Mesozoic Halloween. The kids see their first pumpkins, and Larry Lambeosaurus even shows our family how to hollow them out and carve faces into them.

In Halloween Spooky Science Special, it’s Halloween time and Sid and his friends have dressed up in the spookiest andscariest costumes possible.  Sid is a bat with big fangs.  May is a spooky black cat.  Gabriela is a furry, yucky spider.  And Gerald is a super spooky skeleton that goes boo!  Susie (dressed as a silly mad scientist) loves their costumes, and helps the kids discover that Halloween can be spooky and scientific!  The kids investigate how bats are helpful creatures that catch mosquitoes, spiders are expert engineer web builders, cats are leaping aerial acrobats, and skeletons help hold up our body frames!  At the Halloween party, the kids also investigate how to make icky, gooey green slime.  Susie then ends the day with a special “Halloween Parade” song so the kids can march around and show off their spooky and scientific costumes!

And not to be outdone, you can also make your own Sid the Science Kid Halloween Costume!  Be sure you check out the jokes at the bottom of the page.  This one is my favorite: What does a bird say on Halloween? Trick or Tweet! 

Let’s get our Halloween excitement rolling with a giveaway!  One lucky Coupons Are Great winner is going to receive a new book perfect for the holiday – The Spooky Scavenger Hunt from Grosset & Dunlap in which Mr. Pteranodon takes Buddy and Tiny on a nighttime trip to the Big Pond for a spooky nature walk! Mr. Pteranodon and the conductor insist they can’t be scared, but when the conductor’s mom jumps out at them, everyone gets a good scare! This simple storybook is perfect for read-aloud fun!  Ages 4 – 8; SRP $3.99.

We read this book and I could tell my girls were a little scared with the word spooky in the title. But there is absolutely nothing scary in this book. We all enjoyed reading it.
