Build A Witch Activity
Directions:
- For this activity, you will need a magnetic surface (refrigerators are great for more than just storing food) and a witch magnetic set. (I got mine at The Dollar Tree, but here is another great Halloween Build A Witch Kitchen Magnets Set.)
- Separate the witch pieces for your child and if you like, provide them with a picture of what the witch is supposed to look like or leave it up to them to create their own witch.
- Let your child put the picture of the witch together on the magnetic surface.
- As your child is putting the pieces onto the magnetic surface, have them tell you what part of the body it is.
Make A Witch’s Brew
Materials Needed:
- Plate
- Bowl
- Spoon
- Multicolored Halloween-themed Foam Stickers
Directions:
- Lay out the “ingredients” (stickers) for the brew onto a plate.
- Have you child count how many ingredients there are.
- Have your child pick out what ingredients they want in their witch’s brew by putting them into their bowl.
- As they are putting the ingredients into the bowl, have your child say what it is and what color it is. (Ex. “The pumpkin is orange.”)
- Have your child stir up the witch’s brew with a spoon.
Broomstick Flight
What You Need:
- Toy Broom
- Imagination
Directions:
Have your child get onto the broomstick and go for a fun “flight” around the room! Don’t forget to have them cackle like a witch!
