Kids Halloween Crafts

Kids Halloween crafts are a great way to entertain kids in the lead up to Halloween. As Halloween gets closer, kids get more and more excited so keeping their hands with crafts is a great way to keep them occupied. The things they make can often be used as decorations so that they end being functional as well as fun to make. There are loads of ideas on the internet or you can try a few of the following suggestions.

Of one of the favorite kids Halloween crafts is to create ghosts that can be hung inside or outside as Halloween decorations. One clever way to make ghosts used wax paper, black card and glitter. You need to cut two ghost shapes out of the wax paper. To do this fold a sheet of wax paper in half and draw the ghost shape. Then cut out the two sheets at once. Lay one of them on clean white paper and then add the eyes and mouth cut from black card. Next sprinkle it with glitter. The other ghost is then laid over the first one matching the edges and a sheet of clean white paper is laid on this. Iron this gently on a medium heat so that the wax papers meld together. Your ghost can then be hung up or it can be shredded before it is hung up. These look especially good hanging in a window where the glitter catches the sunlight.

Topricin Junior Review and Giveaway

Jumping, rolling, sliding, tripping, falling? I'm talking about a day in the life of my children! Nonstop energy keeps them active all day. Now, if your kids are anything like mine, injuries seem to occur often. Believe me when I tell you that I should own stock in band-aids, with all the ones we use around our home. But, sometimes a band-aid just isn't enough.

Recently, I was given the opportunity to try Topricin Junior, a children’s pain relief and healing cream. Topricin Junior is a pediatrician-recommended medicated cream specially formulated for children that targets pain as it rapidly goes to work helping the body to heal the damage that’s causing the pain.

FyrFlyz Review & Giveaway

We were fortunate enough to participate in another product review this last week for a simple, but very cool, toy called Fyrflyz.

Fyrflyz is a spinning toy that creates amazing light shows in the palm of your hand! It consist of a small, plastic figure-eight shaped piece, with LED lights attached on each end of strings with handles. It reminds me of an advanced yo-yo with lights.

By simply swinging the two strings and applying tension or allowing slack, you can create a continuous movement of multi-color light shapes.

Halloween Sugar Free Treats for Children

Halloween is one of the most exciting holidays for children, and there is nothing better for them than dressing up and getting free candy. The choice to give your child sugar free treats for Halloween is one that will benefit them immensely, in terms of maintaining good oral health and preventing issues such as gum disease. It is difficult to give out sugar free homemade treats, because most parents will check their children's candy and throw out anything that is homemade by a stranger. You may have to skip the trick-or-treating, but you can have a great Halloween party with some of these sugar free snacks.
