The Cheapskate's Way to Celebrate Halloween
By DIY Maven'
The other day while at Target, I overheard a boy say to his mother, “Can we buy a Halloween costume this year?” To which his mother replied, “After Halloween.” Ahhh, a woman after my own heart, shopping for the holiday after it’s over thereby scoring some sweet deals. But in this economic climate–if you haven’t heard, it’s in the toilet–who wants to spend cash on next year’s Halloween? Heck, by then the good ole U.S. of A. might suspend such holidays due to the next great depression. So, to get something new (to please the kids) and free (to please your pocketbook) you might want to peruse these printable sites.
- For all your costume party needs, visit Family Crafts.
- Family Fun offers a huge variety of goodies, including a very cool Halloween Countdown Calendar.
- For all your Halloween stationery needs, go to Mint Printables,
- and Halloween-Printable.
- Keep the kids busy with Fun School's word games, puzzles and video games.
- For the 3 and under crowd, you might want to check out Nick Jr, where Halloween isn't so scary.
- Here's 13 pumpkin carving stencils.
- Activity Village has loads of cools stuff including cute Halloween posters.
- Parenting.leehansen.com has a good selection of free printables too, including several masks.
- And finally, if the kids are looking for something a bit more authentic in their trick-or-treat fashion, check out starwars.com's 17--count 'em...17!--free Revenge of the Sith masks.
