Favorite Halloween web pages for grandparents
Do you like surfing the web to find articles and tips about grandparenting? There’s a lot of useful information on the WWW. Grandpa Shayne and I are always looking for fun way to connect with the grandkids. We’ve collected some of our favorite Halloween web pages for grandparents.
Halloween is a wonderful time to share with the family. It’s especially fun to see the grandkids all dressed up in their favorite costumes. Here’s a photo of our 6 month old grandbaby in the cute costume I bought at 60% off. Hey, I’m like my mom, always looking for a bargain!

I teach family and consumer science, I’ve always admired Erma Bombeck. She was such a practical homemaker.
Shayne is a Cub Master, and one of his Weblos is a budding artist named Zac Willberg. He draws comics and publishes them on Zac’s Cartoon Cave blog. Shayne commissioned Zac to draw a special comic strip for today’s Halloween post. Boo is the main character (a ghost). Ancient is his girlfriend (a mummy). Today, there’s a special guest appearance by Boo’s Grandma.

One of our favorite cartoons by Zac is his Charlie Brown Halloween.

I’ve checked out some of these links you’ve posted. Thank you. Great post! Here’s a site I use to print out pages to send to my grandkids whenever I mail them a package. They have coloring pages, dot-dot, and mazes.

Nice article Grammy Tanda.
It is fun to share Halloween with one’s family. I remember charging our kids a 10% fee for escorting them trick-or-treating. Today I cut a deal with our 6 month-old granddaughter for 100%. LOL Well, she can’t eat it yet, and there’s no sense in letting good candy go to waist – I mean waste. (just kidding)
Lots of great Halloween links here – thank you so much for including mine among them! It will be a pleasure to add a link to Grandparents TLC to Grandmother Wren’s blogroll.
Loved the article! Some great ideas! Thank you, too, for including my Halloween link as well.
Thanks for putting my Halloweenies comic here! I had fun making it.
What an adorable little pumpkin.
I want to mention that I enjoy having Zac in my Weblos den. Zac is 10 years old. He has lots of creative talent. I am impressed with how bright he is.
TheCuteKid.com is having a free Halloween costume photo contest. Check it out…lots of tips and blogs as well!
