Just when you thought the Halowe’en festivities were over, her comes Dia de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. But this holiday is not for being creepy or scary, despite the skeletons everywhere. It’s a Mexican holiday that combines All Saints Day and All Souls Day, and its origins go back thousands of years to an Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl. These Clay Skeleton Figures remind us of earthly pretensions while making us laugh at the same time.

Today is Make a Hat Day. So get your crafting supplies together, be creative and make some hats, they can be funny hats made from newspaper or you can knit you a hat for the cold months that will be here soon. 

Are you looking for a way to relieve some workplace stress?  Then why not try your hand at some arts and crafts.  I know as a child doing arts and crafts at school was always a highlight of the day, so why not have an art time at work.  This Extreme Office Crafts Book from X-Treme Geek will have you creating crafts that you'll enjoy making, and will have all your co-workers admiring your art skills.

Being from the Gulf Coast, most of the snow I saw was on TV. People were making snow angels and guys were, ahem, "writing their names" in the snow. Now girls can get in on the snow decorating fun with the Sno-Paint Sno-Art Kit.

Use the fun molds to imprint the shapes into the snow and then color them in with your Sno-Crayons. Good clean fun!

We always stocked up on "rainy day projects" when I was a kid. My mother still says that she doesn't know what she would have done without glitter and glue. This kit is way more fun than that! This Color Your Own Umbrella kit comes in two styles with either permanent markers or glitter paint pots and a paintbrush so your little ones can color their very own child-sized umbrella! (While you're at it, check out their cool Wellies.)
