- Colored pencils, markers or watercolors
- Scissors (craft knife for the eye holes – adults only)

Play Ideas for Little Witches
Ride broomsticks or stick horses through an obstacle course. Mix a bubbly potion from water, food coloring, and a little baking soda and vinegar – with a grown-up's help. In a spell game, one witch casts a rhyme that turns everyone into an animal. Then dance in a circle around a paper cauldron.
Fun Facts About Witches
Witches appear in many fairy tales and legends – like the Brothers Grimm story Hansel and Gretel. In stories, they often fly on broomsticks and wear pointed hats. In Germany, an old legend says witches gather on the Brocken mountain on Walpurgis Night, the night of April 30. People there still celebrate it with lively festivals today. In lots of modern kids' books, witches are friendly, clever, and sometimes a little clumsy.
