Child's Toddler Ghost Halloween Costume (2-4T)

For a novice event planner, nothing is more daunting than the question, "Mom, can I have a Halloween party?" There are Halloween decorations, costumes, recipes and activities to plan, which can be a big task. To throw the best party, try to keep the group small (10 is ideal) and organize Halloween fun games. Whether you're planning for a teenager, a pre-teen or a young child, there are a number of fun and affordable games to keep the entertainment rolling!

Halloween party games for younger kids can range from silly Halloween fun and getting-to-know-you games, to spooky ghost story telling and puzzle solving. An easy first game is "The Name Game," where index cards with monster or Halloween character names written on them are affixed to the back of each guest.

Then the person asks another guest "yes or no" questions until the right answer is guessed. Some kids love "pumpkin golf," which is a homemade golf game made out of a cardboard ramp, a carved pumpkin with an extremely large smile and a mini-golf set. "Ghost hunter" scavenger hunts always go over well for grade school children.

First wrap lollipops up like ghosts using white tissue paper and a black magic marker. Then hide them around the house and write clues about where they could be. To make it more competitive, create teams, such as "the witches," "the goblins" or "the werewolves," and have each team race back to place their lollipops into a bin as they find them, awarding a special prize to the winning team.

Or you may want to put a letter on each ghost that will form ten different Halloween words and award prizes as the kids guess them. You can also turn on "The Monster Mash" and have kids dance like monsters, freezing when the music is stopped. This will definitely have them cackling at the Halloween fun! Check out "Party Game Central" for more do-it-yourself ideas.

If you'd rather buy a few games than make them, then here are some Halloween party suggestions. Little kids will love the "Halloween Role Play Game," which can be purchased for $4.99 at Oriental Trading and plays up to six kids. The game includes a 10" spinner, 6 each of 8 assorted character cards, 6 "surprise" cards and instructions. They'll spin, pick a card and do an action, such as making bump sounds with their feet, talking like Frankenstein, doing the Monster Mash and acting like they've been zapped! Oriental Trading also has "Halloween Bend Game," which is an awesome seasonal version of Twister that kindergartners to teenagers will love! "Color Your Own Halloween Bingo" is another great game you can purchase for almost any age.

"Inflatable Halloween Limbo" or the "Inflatable Spider Ring Toss Game" are sure to add Halloween fun to your child's party. Ouija Boards are always creepy Halloween fun for teens. "Halloween Jenga" may be more your speed, with red and black blocks, custom rules and a special glow-in-the-dark die. If you roll a "pumpkin," then the direction of play is reversed; roll a "haunted house" and remove any piece or roll a "bat" and you can only remove an orange block. The Harry Potter "Scene It" DVD game is another fun one, testing kids of ages 8 and up with trivia from the Harry Potter movies.

One of the best Halloween Party games for adults is the "murder mystery dinner." Each party member will receive an advance invitation with instructions on the role they'll be playing. In your kit, you'll receive instructions on Halloween recipes to cook, what Halloween decorations to set up and even how to dress. Usually, character booklets, scripts and CD or DVDs will guide you through the plot to discover whodunit. A few recommended murder mystery games include: "Lethal Luau Murder Mystery Party Game" with a Hawaiian theme, "A Taste for Wine and Murder" with a Hollywood theme or "A Murder on the Grill" with a summer of 1950s theme. All are from Bepuzzled.

The energy of this Christmas season has been interesting. Christmas has always been one of my favorite times of the year. I love the lights and displays that everyone decorates with, the music and the love that people express at this time of year.

This Christmas is entirely different. Though people seem to be decorating more this year than in past years, the enjoyment of it is not there. The stores have very little in them and I have not heard one person wish anyone a 'Happy Holiday'.

I love window shopping, just walking around looking at what is available. This year, window shopping is very depressing. I walk around the stores and feel such sadness and depression. When I first experienced this, I thought it was because this is our first Christmas without Samantha. But, I soon realized that this was not it. I was feeling the energy that was being left in the stores by other shoppers.

People are so sad and depressed this Christmas. We are finding no joy in the Holidays this year. I have been meditating on this and realize why this is so.

Christmas is a very third dimensional Holiday. It is extremely stressful. People put lots of stress on themselves to find the perfect, most expensive present possible. They spend time with family that they usually avoid most of the year. They max out their credit cards and eat until they are miserable. This is all very unspiritual.

Humanity is now moving into the fourth and fifth dimensions. There is no place in these higher dimensions for materialism such as Christmas represents. These higher dimensions are places of Love and Peace. Our third dimensional Christmas does not represent either of those qualities. We must move past the materialism and into a more spiritual based honoring of this Holiday Season.

The Christmas Season occurs at the time of the Winter Solstice. The Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year. It is the time when the Earth is about to be reborn and the days become longer. It is a time of letting go of the old and beginning anew. This is the time of new beginnings, a New Year when we can create a New Reality.

These are the concepts of the Holiday Season that we will be celebrating in the higher dimensions. These are the more spiritual qualities that we will be embracing during the holidays in years to come.

So, take some of the stress off of yourself this Holiday Season. Step out of the third dimensional Holiday Season and into the fifth dimensional Holiday Season. Let go of the stress and disappointment you have experienced in 2006 and move into 2007 with a heart filled with Hope for the future, Joy to be alive, and Peace on Earth.

Justice League DC Comics Wonder Woman Child Costume

Costume includes: Gold headband with Red Star, Red cape, Red, White & Blue leotard, Gold belt & lasso, Silver bracelets and Red & White boot tops. This is the officially licensed costume.
Customer Review: So happy with this costume. Small is AGE 3-4 (not 4-6)
This is a great costume. Especially for a preschooler! The sizing is confusing though. Small 4-6 means size 4-6 not age 4-6. On the costume package it says size 4-6 for AGE 3-4. The same would logically apply to the larger sizes, so be careful to order the right size. I knew this before hand and the small fits my 4 year old ( a small 4 year old) great! The belt is velcro, one size, way too big but that is no problem. I just tie it like a sash in the back, a safety pin would be another option. The bracelets and the tiara are great and they stay put. The tiara wraps around with elastic on the back so works like a charm. There is a little place for the lasso (it comes with a lightweight golden lasso) which also helps to keep the belt in place. And the robe is great. It's actually nice and long. It is really much cuter than it looks in the picture. Seems comfortable enough for everyday play. Very cool. We are very happy with this.
Customer Review: Great product although sizings are odd
The costume is very well constructed. Unlike many other Wonder Woman costumes it includes the lasso, cape, boots, wrist bands, and headbands. However, because of the sizing of the accessories we will have to make some alterations to it to get it to fit. My daughter is a small five year old. The size small bodysuit barely fits her although we do expect to get some enjoyment out of it. It is quite stretchy after all. The cape barely reachs around her neck to fasten. I'll have to add some new ties so that it doesn't feel like it is choking her. The waist band and boots, on the other hand, are quite large. I'll have to add velcro to the waist band to make it fit smaller around her waist. I'm not sure what to do about the boots. They are sliding down her little legs. This costume is great for the price, just be aware when you buy it that there is some incongruity with the sizing of the accessories. If you are handy you should be able to make the adjustments yourself. It is a super price!

A holiday can be termed as time spent away from home or business, in travel or amusement. It can also mean a day, reserved by a country or culture, usually for celebration or for some other type of special observance or activity. Holidays can be special religious days.

Should you send that new friend, the one you met at the book club, a card with a pastoral winter scene on the front, or a picture of the baby Jesus, or a graphic that says "Happy Holidays?" Are you going to insult someone who doesn't celebrate a religious holiday if you send them a card with a religious scene or sentiment? What if you have a Jewish friend-should the card you give her say, "Happy Hanukah?"

These are questions that probably most everyone considers when they decide the best way to communicate the holidays with others by sending holiday cards. These points are important and thoughtful. Since this time of year is one of friends and family, and a time when being a part of each other's lives is highlighted, it stands to reason that we would want to put our best foot forward.

We tend to start celebrating-by virtue of commercialism-earlier and earlier every year. With a tightened 2008 economy, it seems that the selling world has lengthened our shopping calendar even more. Barely had Labor Day ticked off its last minute than we began to see generic Christmas decorations showing up in stores all over. By the time we've seen the last lil' trick-or-treater on our Halloween doorstep, we'll be able to walk into WalMart and find Christmas tree bulbs and stockings and front-yard Santas for sale in the store's year-round section.

We've made Christmas a generic sort of holiday. Much of the strictly spiritual significance has been pushed aside to make way for a celebration of togetherness notwithstanding any personal deep-seated belief. If I send you a card that shows a decorated tree with twinkling lights, brightly-colored bulbs, and mistletoe in the doorway, it means no disrespect if your holiday includes a menorah and eight days of presents. I simply want to wish you the best of holidays . . . no matter how you may celebrate and no matter what differences there may be between our cultures. There has to be a common ground.

That's the point of the holidays. We have different traditions, quite possibly even different belief systems. Yet the spirit of the season has the exact same message for one and all: love and understanding. While the commercial side of our society tells us to fill up our world with all sorts of shiny and colorful decorations, the reason behind those accoutrements can be summed up as simply our own personal expression of seasonal enjoyment, all of us wanting to communicate our happiness with anyone who may care to pay attention.

The fact that we want to send a holiday card filled with good wishes to others-whether they be family we've known all our lives, or a friend we just met-this is the true meaning of the season. If you know the person well, send them something that expresses your understanding of their world. If you have just met, simply share the joy of the season . . . your new friend will likely return the sentiment.

The holidays are a lot of fun but they also bring a lot of stress. Everything we have to do for the holidays is piled on top of everything normally have to do. Robyn Bentley, a feng shui consultant and author of Creating A Haven: Simple Steps For A Healthy And Nurturing Home, has some suggestions for the home to lift your spirits and things to do to reduce your stress level during the most wonderful and stressful time of the year.

Tap into your happy childhood. Go through your old photos when you were a carefree kid excited about the holidays. Use a color copier and to enlarge them to 8x10, 11x14 or 16x20 mini posters for decorations. You can put them in inexpensive plastic box or clip frames. If you have old holiday pictures of friends and family who will be coming to visit you, make some fun mini posters of them too. Think of how good that will make them feel to see themselves in your home.

Watch the clutter. Too much clutter makes the natural energy flow in your home slow down and get stuck, which makes us feel stuck or depressed. A good cleaning and clutter clearing before you add decorations is a good idea. Obstacles in the home can create obstacles in your life, so don't create obstacles with your decorations. If you have to step over it, duck under it, or squeeze by, its going to add more stress to your holiday too.

Chuck the negative stuff. Everything inside your home has a memory, association or meaning attached to it. When you look at an item it will either give you a positive emotional response, a neutral response or negative response. The more negatives you have around the house, the more negative the energy in the house. Getting rid of all the negatives and surrounding yourself with positives raises the energy in the house and helps keep your energy positive and upbeat. Keep that in mind while you are decorating and don't put up any decorations that make you have any negative feelings.

Angry? The more stressed we are, the easier it is to become angry. However, it is physiologically impossible to be angry when your muscles are relaxed. Anger cannot exist without muscle tension. If the holidays start getting to you, take an adult "time out" and go limp like a rag doll. Relax your body without tensing one single muscle. Not a clenched jaw, or baby toe. And breath for a few minutes to get yourself back to normal.

Keep your mood more positive during the holidays by getting a good night's dark. Melatonin is the hormone that controls our mood and our sleep. It is produced by the pineal gland at night in the dark. Light makes the body think its daytime. To keep your body making the right amount of melatonin to keep your mood more positive and help you get enough sleep, make sure you are sleeping in the dark. Don't sleep with the light on, or TV or with a streetlight coming through your bedroom window. Or your neighbors holiday light display.

Removing negatives and adding positives around the home to lift your spirits will help create more joy and less stress this holiday season. And while you're at it, you'll find many free feng shui tips for your office, home, and children's rooms on Robyn Bentley's website http://www.fengshuidiva.com .

Your imagination can go wild with these homemade Halloween costumes. You can buy your accessories separately and use them to put together a Halloween costume or you can start from scratch and make your costume. If you like sewing you can start with one of many patterns available.

Dracula or vampire costumes can be made with a long black cape and a dark suit. You need to add some vampire teeth and you may want to include a bit of fake blood and white face paint to make your skin seem pale.

Barbie costume can be put together with a blonde wig, a bikini and a pair of high heels. Over stuffing the bikini top helps pull off this look.

Car costume is made out of a card board box. This works best for toddler sized kids. You paint the box to look like a car, the top opens up and you wear it like shorts using suspenders or yarn over the shoulders to hold it up. The car fits around your child's waist and the child sticks out of the top like a race car driver or you can color the child to be a flag pole and make the car be a monster truck. There are many variations available, let your creativity flow with this one.

Pizza delivery man is fairly easy; you just need a pizza box. Most pizza places will give you a box for your costume; you can often get one of their paper hats as well. A fake name tag on your t-shirt can complete your costume.

Robot costumes have been fun to make for over 30 years now. A few card board boxes and some aluminum foil can make the cutest homemade robot costume. Cut boxes to fit like pants and shirts with one box stacked on the other then cover with foil. You put on the boxes over top of your clothing and you can cover arms and legs with smaller boxes that are covered with foil.

Angel costumes can be made of all white clothing, including a white dress, along with a set of wings and a halo. The halo is easy to make with a wire coat hanger and some foil. The halo is attached to the back of the collar with either tape or it can be sewn in. The wire hanger is bent so that the halo itself is above the head of the person wearing the costume. Wings can be made by shaping wire hangers into wing shapes and then stretching white nylons or white fabric (many types can work) over the frame. Attach to the back of the shirt or dress and your angel is complete.

Jack-in-the-box is done quite a bit like the robot costume. This homemade Halloween costume is simple to create and the effect is quite impressive. You take a large cardboard box and decorate it with bright colors. A crank handle can be made out of empty bathroom tissue and paper towel rolls covered with foil. The top of the box is held open allowing you to stick your upper body out of the box. Dressing up like a clown helps this look.

There are many other homemade costumes you can make. Make-up can also be homemade. Either a shortening based make-up made of 1 part shortening 2 parts corn starch and food coloring or the cosmetics you have on hand can be used to finish the look.

One of the most wonderful times of the year is Christmas and one of the most exciting events of the Christmas season is the church bazaar. Everyone looks forward to this event as it brings people together and gives us the chance to see folks we haven't seen in a while. But planning a Christmas bazaar is a lot of work. If you're planning on doing one, here are just a few of the things that you're going to want to do.

The first thing you're going to want to do is pick a date and make sure the church is available for that date. The last thing you want is for the minister to tell you that he's got a wedding planned for that day. Saturdays before the Sunday service are usually the best time. You want the date to be close to Christmas but not too close. The first or second week of the month is best.

The next thing you need to do is put out a sign up sheet to see who is going to be setting up tables. This is your main attraction at the bazaar so you want to make sure there are plenty of tables and a good variety of things to sell. You might want to also set up some specialty tables as well, like maybe one to take photos or maybe a table to print out cards showing what happened on your birthday. You'll need a computer and a special program for that. These things usually go over very well and are great money makers.

You'll also want to make sure that you plan to have a lunch setup. Keep the menus simple and the prices fair. People love to eat in between shopping but they don't want to pay a fortune for it either. Have a few different kinds of desserts and drinks available like soda, coffee and tea.

One of the biggest sellers at a Christmas bazaar is the bake shop. This is a lot of work but it is worth it. Have as many people as possible bake cookies and cakes the day before and bring them down to the church to have them bagged and weighed. You want to sell things by the pound. Keep your prices fair and you'll make out very well. Depending on how much is baked, you could make $500 or more just from the bake shop alone.

Finally, you want to make sure that everything is set up the day before. The bazaar should start around 9 or 10 in the morning and it should run until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Make sure you have a Santa there to take photos with the kids. You don't have to hire one specially. You can recruit one of the church members who fits the costume to fill the part. You're certain to get at least one volunteer.

By keeping a checklist and making sure that everything on it is done, your bazaar is certain to come off without too many hitches.
