What Is Halloween?
Halloween is a holiday celebrated on October 31. Halloween is often associated with the colors orange and black, and symbols such as the jack-o'-lantern and witches. Halloween activities include wearing costumes (people of all ages), trick-or-treating (activity for the kids), ghost tours and visiting haunted attractions, costume parties, carving jack-o'-lanterns (AKA carving pumpkins), entering decorative pumpkins in pumpkin contests, pranking (or tricking) people (no mean pranks!), watching scary horror movies, and reading scary stories. (Halloween is October 31, 2010)
Halloween Safety
Safety Tips:
1. Wear bright colors while trick-or-treating.
2. Use a flashlight at night.
3. Pin child's phone number and name in the costume.
4. Leave the carving to adults.

Twister
Cut out colored felt and glue to white clothing. Use a thin piece of cardboard, or a thick piece of construction paper, and markers or crayons to make the spinner. Mummy Costume

1. Wear a sheet and wrap just your head with gauze.
2. Don't wear a sheet and wrap your entire body in gauze.
3. Skip the gauze and buy a really cool mummy outfit from Amazon :)
Under 5 Dollar Costumes For Pets
All you need is an old sheet!
Suggestions:
1. Dye, or tie-dye, the sheets orange and black.
2. Paint or stencil something fun on the sheets.
3. Write something funny on the sheet like, "Dead Dog Walking" or "Boo". Use your imagination and be creative and I'm sure you can come up with something fun.
For A Woman Or A Man
All you need is paint! And of course, someone who can draw.
Suggestions:1. Not pregnant? This would work on any belly, man or woman.

A Box Of Tissues
Suggestions:1. If blue is not your color, paint the box a different color.
2. Tape tissue or tissue paper on it. Tissue might be too thin, the thicker tissue paper might work better.
3. Use pre-made stickers or stencil letters and cut them out. Be sure to glue (or tape) to both the front and back of the box. The cheapes way would be to just use markers and draw it on.
