    Vampire Kids Coloring Book Activity

    September 24, 2017 /

    Who is your favourite vampire? Are you still crushing on Twilight? Are you team Edward or Team Jacob? Or is that time long past. Vampires are blood-drinking supernatural creatures that were clearly once human. But I happen to think these adorable little vampire kids in this vampire kids coloring book look cuddly, with maybe a tiny little supernatural thrown in.     If your kids love to color, or even if they just need something to do here’s a cute little 9 page Vampire Kids Coloring Book. Apparently vampires are organized into nests and the youngest members do the hunting for the elders. HMMM…maybe they are onto something…How come I…

    Cute Free Halloween Cats Colouring Book – 9 Page

    September 10, 2017 /

    Doesn’t Halloween bring out the child in all of us? When I was younger, I never really got super excited about hanging a few Halloween decorations up. But having children delight in seeing the decorations and even watching them get spooked for a second, is a hoot! Not all Halloween fun though has to be related to candy or spooky costumes and decorations. This year I have a super sweet Halloween cats colouring book just for you. Happy Halloween This time of year I enjoy decorating the house and making it look a little bit like a haunted house. I don’t go overboard, but like the small things. Decorating the mantel…

    Halloween Safety for Kids and Adults

    September 30, 2016 /

    Halloween safety is one of those topics that makes kids and parents, alike cringe. Kids don’t want to think about it, and parents can’t stop thinking about it. What is meant to be a wholesome night of zombies, ghosts, superheroes, and candy can be a source of danger. Between predators and strangers who put nasty stuff in candy, Halloween safety is something that cannot be over promoted. Halloween safety is an important topic for both kids and adults, because in this day and age every member of the family needs to be careful! In fact I hear so many Moms and Dads saying we won’t even take our kids out any more that…
