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. Decorate the rest of your car with stickers, different paint colors – whatever you like. Get your pet ready to race!
Webkinz Costume: Cookie
Is your pet the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen? Maybe a cookie is the right kind of costume idea! What you need: brown Bristol board OR white Bristol board and light brown paint, dark brown or black felt, scissors, ribbon, fabric glue, snack-sized plate What you do: Using a plate as a template, trace two circles onto your Bristol board. If the board is white, paint it brown and let it dry. These are going to be cookies. Cut dark brown triangles out of your felt. They’re going to be chocolate chips on your ‘cookie’. Attach ribbon to the back side of one cookie. Let it dry. Attach it to the back side of the other cookie. Let it dry. Do the same again on the other side of the cookie (you want to space the ribbon enough so that it sits on your pet’s shoulders when you put the cookie costume on them). Dress your pet up for a night of fun!
Sparky’s Birthday Surprise
Whoa – so it was my party today and it was CRAZY! You will never believe what happened! It was all going really well. I got some great presents and my Uncle took us deep down into the mines, which was really spooky – perfect for a Halloween party! Then, my Uncle planned out this cool scavenger hunt. We teamed up to find unusual objects on the list. I was paired with Cowabelle and as we got close to the lake behind the Tournament Arena (we were looking for an oar) Nibbles and Roberta came running out of the trees, looking terrified. They said that there were strange noises coming from this old shipwreck on the shore. Just then Salley and Stoogles appeared and said they had heard something too. Polly and Alex and Laurabeard and Molly all arrived at the lake then so we decided that we would all check it out. After all, as Alex said, it couldn’t really be anything scary, right? I mean, that stuff is just in stories. Quietly we all crept through the woods toward the boat and just as we got to the tree line, the boat … Read more

Tasty Spranklebeek!
Oh, my friends! I am so glad we are trying these tasty recipes together. Today’s food is called Spranklebeek and it is a little bit…different…than the others. It is definitely slimier and purpler. Intrigued? I thought you might be! Here are some hints to help you figure it out. First, you’ll need a sandwich maker from the W Shop. Next, you’ll need to get three ingredients. You can see through one, and the other two are a matter of personal preference (I love them; others feel strongly the other way). Good luck!
Webkinz Costume: Ballerina
What you need: 4 Coffee filters (the basket kind), pink thread, needle, pink watercolor markers, water spray bottle, paper towel, old white or pink sock, pink ribbon What you do: Color the coffee filters with the different colors of pink markers. Lay them on the paper towel and spray them with the water bottle. The colors will mix and blend. Let the coffee filters dry. When the filters are dry, stack them up and cut out the center of each. This is the tutu. Sew around the inside edge of the tutu in order to hold the skirt together. Take your old white sock and cut off the toe. Cut two holes in each side. Trim the bottom if you need to. This is your pet’s top. You can run a piece of ribbon around the top of it to make it extra-fancy. Wrap your pet’s feet in pink ribbon to make toe shoes. Your little dancer is ready for a night of trick-or-treating!
