Boston, MA (PRWEB) October 22, 2008 -- As little ghosts, goblins, princesses and pirates around the country get ready for trick-or-treating, parents can turn to FamilyEducation for everything they need to have a ghoulishly great and safe Halloween. The popular parenting Web site is an excellent source for easy and affordable costume ideas, tips for planning a frighteningly fun Halloween party, and Halloween crafts and activities (http://fun.familyeducation.com/slideshow/halloween/54169.html).
Before they start carving that big pumpkin that was carefully selected at the pumpkin patch, families can create a personalized design with FamilyEducation's Jack-O-Lantern Creator (http://fun.familyeducation.com/halloween/halloween-games/58389.html) (http://fun.familyeducation.com/halloween/halloween-games/58389.html).
Using the Jack-O-Lantern Creator, they can choose eyes, noses and mouths to give their online pumpkin its own personality and then print out a template to guide their carving. Or they can print and color their customized creations to use as Halloween decorations.
