The Beloved Witch
Abracadabra! Here is an enchanting activity that will delight children for Halloween. With a styrofoam cone, a plastic egg, and a bit of black paint, they can create an adorable little funny witch. Then, all they need to do is add eyes, some colorful buttons, a small broom, and of course... the famous pointed hat!
To enhance the creation, it will be glued on a wooden log accompanied by a miniature pumpkin for a magical autumn scene.
An original Halloween decoration to make at home or in school!
