Board Book Albums, LLC. Go batty with Halloween photos!

Board Book Albums founder Laura Miranti created board books as a way to help her daughter meet developmental milestones. Board Book Albums encourage family interaction, object recognition, and provide a book children can take along with them anywhere (this can be especially helpful when children suffer from separation anxiety at daycare or school and want to have a reminder of their loved ones). Children with autism, speech delay, or other special needs may find it particularly beneficial as a learning tool, or just something fun to create with their own favorite photos.

As a mom of three, I also love the fact that these books are both beautiful and indestructable. The thick, waterproof, board book form is perfect for little hands and drooling mouths! Plus, each board book comes in cool colors and can be ‘customized’ like a scrapbook. Check out the ultra cool Halloween version Laura made on a white board book – very spooktacular! Board Books come in a variety of colors and sizes making them the perfect gift for showers and new babies! See more at BoardBookAlbums.com.

Halloween Morph-O-Scopes – Morph into something super cool this Halloween!

Get ready to be dazzled this Halloween! Parents surely know that anything with ‘morph’ in the title is not only Halloween appropriate, but something your kids will find super-cool all year round. Ooz and Oz has created this award winning, mind-bending, illusionary fun to help children excel developmentally and educationally. My super picky 6 year old thought it was “wicked cool” – what more could a parent want?

These super cool brain teasers arrive in a kit that contains multiple coloring pages with twisty, crazy, creepy (in a good way) images, a soft, bendable mirror and a set of crayons. Children simply bend the mirror, place it on the page, and color! When each of the twisted Halloween shapes is colored, it’s reflection in the mirror looks perfect. Pretty creepy cool, hugh?

Morph-O-Scopes are great for a group activities such as sleep overs, birthday parties, and let’s not forget – Halloween parties! They come in a variety of designs (fairies, pets, dinosaurs, etc.) with an option to buy ‘party packs’ for entertaining a big crowd of kids.

A Broom With A View CD by Kristen Lawrence. Wicked awesome music!

In the mood for a little nontraditional Halloween music? Classically trained organist, Kristen Lawrence has a knack for combining centuries of Halloween history with the musical style of classical musicians such as J.S. Bach. The tone of the CD is a little more Harry Potter and a little less of Friday the 13th. If you have young children like I do, this is a good thing! The super cool witchy tunes are elegant and fun for both parents and children. In fact, my daughters ages 6, 4, and 2 love it so much, they insist on playing it round the clock. Well, at least until their 8:00 bedtime.

So if your in the mood for something that will certainly be ‘music to your ears’ check out Kristen’s CD – you won’t be disappointed! See more at halloweencarols.com.
