I was searching for some good Halloween decorations and things to use for treats for my Grandchildren this Halloween when I stumbled across this Halloween Charm Barbie Doll at Amazon.  They have several different Halloween Barbie Dolls and I think I know one of the treats I'm buying for this year.

Amazon also has alot of Halloween decorations on clearance sale.  If you are planning a Halloween party, a haunted house, a haunted hayride, or just want to decorate the house and yard for the little monsters and witches that will visit the end of this month, then definitely check out this clearance sale.

There is nothing quite like walking up to a house that has spooky scarey music playing, and a witch or vampire on the porch.  Add a skull and hand raising up out of the ground by the walkway and some children would think they were at a haunted house.  Offer them their treat from a witch's cauldron with hot ice in the bottom steaming up around the treats and watch their little faces - pure amazement and astonishment - some may be scared while others will love it and never forget it.  And after all, isn't making memories to last a lifetime a big part of what Halloween is really all about.  A family holiday affair to have fun while the dead are traveling thru on All Hallow's Eve!!!!

Halloween for children with autism Autism Support Network

Halloween is a time for fun and make believe. Children with autism have problems with the concept of pretending - hence, putting on a Halloween costume to pretend to be something or someone else is a scarey and unsettling concept to them. Trick or treating is a hard chore as it involves going up to a stranger's house and knocking on the door, talking to someone they don't know, accepting candy from a stranger and various other things which can send an autistic child into a frenzy.

The Autism Support Network has an excellent article on tips for making Halloween fun and manageable for autistic children. It is definitely worth reading if you are planning on sharing Halloween with a child who has autism or is suspected of being autistic. Check it out today and plan for a fun and enjoyable holiday with all children!!!!!

Carving Pumpkins - Jack O Lanterns

Carving pumpkins into Jack-O-Lanterns at Halloween time can be a bit tricky!  There are those who carve a nose, couple of eyes, and a mouth and are done with it once they stick a candle or flashlight into it for a light.  Then there are those others who carve the black cat, the vampire bat, someone's face, and all those fancy intricate detailed Jack-O-Lanterns we see around everywhere.  Regardless of whether you are a pro carver or a beginner, The Pumpkin Wizard has the answers to your carving problems and the pumpkin carving patterns for those very special pumpkins! 

When checking out The Pumpkin Wizard be sure to check out the links on his link page to other great pumpkin carving and Halloween sites.
