Salley’s Pieced-Together Costume
Hi all, it’s Salley here! Even though lots of ‘Kinz buy their costumes and look totally awesome, I like letting my imagination fly and finding pieces around the house to make my own great outfits! This year I have two options, and I’m not sure which one I want to try yet! Turns out my mom has a cool cowboy shirt (it’s a little big but still works) and a cowboy hat PLUS cowboy boots that are nearly my size! Turns out she was once into line dancing! Who knew? Anyway, combine it with my own jeans and an old toy sheriff’s belt, and you’ve got a pretty perfect cowgirl outfit! But then I was thinking, I have a tuxedo from a play I once did, so why not wear that and be a mysterious magician? I’ve always loved magic! (Even if the sleeves are a little tight!) But now I don’t know which one to choose! I guess I’ll have to decide on Halloween morning…what do you think I should be this year?
Webkinz Costume: Flower
What you need: Cardstock, craft glue, scissors, markers, jewels What you do: 1. Cut out a flower-shape from the cardstock. The flower should be fairly large – it has to fit around your pet’s face. 2. Cut out a circle in the center of the flower. The circle should be just a little bigger than your pet’s face. 3. Decorate the flower with all sorts of pretty colors and jewels. 4. When the glue is dry, put your flower on your pet and watch them blossom!
Ms. Stripes Class Party: Not So Fun
Wow! I just cannot believe how little Halloween spirit Ms. Stripes has! Today Alex and I made these really cool ghost decorations to hang up in the classroom and when Ms. Stripes saw them she said no way. What??? How can you have a Halloween party without scary decorations? What is her problem? She said that there are younger kids in the other classes who might be scared if they are passing our classroom and see these creepy ghosts hanging up. First of all, Halloween is all about being scared, and second, even little kids know it’s just pretend! Have you seen some of the spooky looking decorations around town? Every kid who walks to school through Kinzville must come across gravestones and ghosts hanging around people’s yards. They know it’s all in fun! Ms. Stripes is just determined that this party is going to be a big yawn. Even though she’s been pretty nice lately, I think that deep down she still thinks school should be no fun at all.
Webkinz Costume: Witch
What you need: Black felt, pointy paper cup, black construction paper, brown paper bag, black paint, black button, black thread, needle, scissors, black ribbon What you do: 1. Paint the paper bag black. This is going to be your witch’s dress. 2. When the bag is dry, cut a hole for your pet’s head out of the bottom of the bag. Cut two arm holes on the sides. Glue the black buttons in a line down the front of the bag. 3. Put the bag onto your pet and cinch the waist with the black ribbon. 4. Paint the pointy paper cup black. This is your witch’s hat. Cut a circle from the black construction paper and use it as the rim of the hat. 5. Cut your black felt piece in half. Glue a piece of ribbon to the top of it. When the glue is dry, tie it around your pet’s neck (this is your witch’s cape). 6. Your pet is ready for a spook-tacular Halloween!
A Fabulous Town Square!
Elwin here with another gorgeous fall makeover! This time, we redesigned the town square. Hailey and I decided to really make everything look festive. We added food stalls, fun things to do, and some fantastic fall decorations. Everyone in Kinzville thought it looked absolutely perfect, and I have to agree! What do you think, friends?
Roberta’s Halloween Conundrum
Roberta here with a tough decision on my mind: what should Reid be for Halloween? There are so many options – and I’d like to make him the costume. I was thinking of maybe making him into a little wizard, but that’s not cute enough. Then I thought of maybe making him into a superhero, but it seems a bit old for him right now. Now I’m thinking that perhaps the cutest, sweetest costume would be a pumpkin! What do you think? How adorable would Reid be, dressed as a little pumpkin? I think that might just be the best idea ever! Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
Halloween Webkinz Costume: Gift Box
What you need: Square box, wrapping paper, clear tape, bow, scissors What you do: 1. Cut the top and bottom out of the square box (have an adult help if you need it). 2. Wrap the sides of the box in wrapping paper. 3. Tape two strips of wrapping paper in front of and behind your pet on the top of the box (to make it appear that your pet is popping out of the box). 4. Add a bow to the top of the gift. 5. For extra fun, add a gift tag!
Alex’s Scientific Journal: The Shipwreck is NOT Haunted!
Alex Tiger here with a page out of my scientific journal! My friends totally believe that that shipwreck is haunted, which just can’t be true. I know it’s spooky to think that there are actually ghosts aboard, but that’s nothing a bit of evidence can’t solve. Here are my scientific reasons why the ship may seem haunted but actually ISN’T: Strong winds shaking the ship. That shuddering noise we all heard? Gusts of wind! Plus when it whistles through the boards it sounds like moaning. Cool breezes off the water. Some people say that when you feel a chill, that means you walked through a ghost, but I don’t think so. The ship is on a beach, and that means cool breezes make it to shore—even through a boat’s cabin door! We felt a sea breeze, NOT a ghost. See? There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m going to present my findings to my friends (especially Sparky, he was so scared!) and then they’ll see there’s no way there’s such a thing as a ghost!
Webkinz Costume: Butterfly
What you need: Duct tape in a pretty color, craft paper, scissors, ribbon, pipe cleaner What you do: 1. Cut your craft paper into strips that are about 1 foot long and 3 inches across. 2. Lay a piece of colored duct tape (about a foot long) sticky-side-up on the floor. Put a piece of craft paper design-side-down, overlapping the duct tape. 3. Add another piece of duct tape, sticky-side-up on the other side of the craft paper strip. Keep alternating between craft paper and duct tape. 4. Add duct tape across all of the tape pieces (to cover up the sticky sides). 5. Fold the duct-tape-and-craft-paper piece in half. Cut out butterfly wings. 6. Attach a piece of ribbon to the back of your wings. Tie the ribbon around your pet’s waist. 7. Attach pipe cleaners to your pet’s head. 8. Your pet will look beautiful!

It is called “Scary Berry Crunch”. To make it, you’ll need: Something you can grow or buy A bag of crunchy snacks One other thing Good luck and happy eating!
The ‘Kinz Make a Startling Discovery
Oh my gosh! It’s Sally Cat and do I ever have some freaky news to share with you! Sparky and Alex went back to that haunted shipwreck that we discovered the day of Sparky’s party. Why did they go back? It’s a mystery to me! Apparently they had another spooky experience, despite Alex’s insistence that there is some scientific reason for the noises and the shaking. So today Stoogles and I decided to do a little research. We went to the library to check and see if there were any reported cases of a haunted shipwreck on the shores of Kinzville. And guess what? It turns out that for years there have been cases of strange happenings around that lake! Residents of Kinzville have reported seeing a ghostly creature floating around the lake, groaning as if in pain! Theories are that it is the Pirate Ghost, searching for his lost love! How wild is that? I think that what we heard the other day were the sobs of the heartbroken Ghost Pirate! A real live (well, dead) ghost – right here in Kinzville!
Webkinz Halloween Costume: Mummy
This cute mummy costume is totally easy to make! What you need: Sheet of white felt, scissors, pet What you do: 1. Cut the white felt into strips. You want to cut lengthwise, and make the strips about the width of a marker. 2. Wrap the strips around your pet. Tie them in the back, or simply tuck them in to hold them in place. 3. Make sure to leave at least one of your pet’s eyes visible. It’s creepier that way!
Alex & Sparky: Back to the Boat
Alex Tiger here. The other day at Sparky’s birthday we had a really scary adventure! While we were by the lake, there were some very strange sounds coming from this old boat that had washed up on the shore. Everyone freaked out and ran away, but I am convinced that there must be a reasonable explanation. Maybe it was just the wind running through the old shipwreck. So today I persuaded Sparky to come back to the boat with me to investigate. He really didn’t want to go, but I thought it would be good to bring someone else along – not because I was scared or anything – I just wanted to show him that there was nothing supernatural making that noise. As we got close to the shipwreck, everything was calm, although Sparky was a bit shaky. I talked Sparky into climbing up onto the deck of the ship with me and I was just about to show him that it was nothing but an old boat when suddenly it started shaking and that groaning sound started up again. Then a cold breeze blew out of the cabin on the ship. I wanted to investigate but Sparky … Read more
Webkinz Costume: Racecar Driver
Tell your pet to get ready to zoom around this Halloween! What you need: Kleenex box, scissors, glue, paint, ribbon, stapler, black construction paper What you do: 1. Cut a Webkinz-sized circle at the top and bottom of your Kleenex box. The box will fit around your pet (if cutting the bottom of the box is tricky, ask your favorite adult assistant for help). 2. Paint your Kleenex box an interesting color. Go for something vibrant and eye-catching! 3. When your Kleenex box is dry, cut out four circles from the black construction paper. These are your wheels. 4. Glue on the wheels. 5. On either side of the Webkinz-shaped hole, staple the ribbons in place. These are the straps. 6.
