Parents need to know that other than some spooky music, there's nothing here to scare kids of any age. Being a Ben & Jerry's site, it does have logos for the company on every page and a link to their online store.
For those who scream for ice cream and pumpkins, visit BEN & JERRY'S HALLOWEEN FUN STUFF, the kid-friendly section of the ice cream kings' site. Simple yet fun games (some with test-run instructions), printable decorations, and an interactive cartoon haunted house, science lab, and library can be found, along with other Halloween-related links.
The games aren't sock knockers, but the cartoon images are fun. Find a clever treat in the Flavor Graveyard, where all of B & J's discontinued flavors are artfully eulogized. The printable Halloween coloring pages (think cute ghouls holding ice cream cones) are appropriate for all ages. The history area is also worth a peek...or a boo.
Families can talk about how logos and brand names influence us. You'll probably be craving some Chunky Monkey a few clicks into a site that was supposedly about Halloween. How can the power of suggestion and familiar images influence your eating and buying habits? When is it appropriate to mix fun cartoons and games and not-so-good-for-you food? When is it not OK?
