Kids Domain: Halloween
"Just listing all the Halloween topics at Kids Domain would take up more space than I have here, so I’ll just mention my favorites. Party Fun is a good place to start when planning offline Halloween activities for kids. Clip art is excellent for use both offline and online (with a courtesy link back to Kids Domain.) I also liked the craft ideas, and the printable coloring pages, word searches and crossword puzzles.

Inside an American Factory
"What was factory life like at the turn of the century? Now you can step onto the factory floor of The Westinghouse Works company of 1904, as it was filmed for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition held in St. Louis that year.
