If you want to look good this Halloween, maybe you could spend a little time making yourself a fancy hat. I have looked around the interweb and found a couple of resources that will help you do that very thing. Don’t forget to wear it with style, however you chose to celebrate the Spooky night.

With some of the food articles here there might well be some repeat recipes…I am of course horribly sorry about that. But what Halloween party would be complete without some jelly worms? Squiggling and squirming on a plate. So here is a link to how to make those wriggly worms easily.

So some days ago on Facebook I saw someone had been making little tiny zombies. I thought they were brilliant and asked if I could share them with you. They take a lot of work it would seem, but I would say that the work is well worth doing. So I would like to thank Sabina Semolina for allowing me to put this image up of a little brain eater:

So I found some easy dot to dot images that you can print and do for this Spooky Month. Not just for young people, cause you can colour them in, and I understand that this is good even for adults to do. Maybe you can come up with your own dot to dot images.

Hello and welcome to a crossover post. It is International poetry day and the start of spooky month. So what better a way to celebrate both than with a spooky poem, to make your toes curl.

I like a word search so I thought I would look for one that would fit in with the subject of Autumn. It looks like it is not too difficult to do 🙂

It is even possible to come up with your own wordsearches, and I will be doing a few of those during Spooky Month.
