Today is the first day of October and my kids couldn’t be more excited. We have already started our Halloween preparations and crafting. My oldest son painted with me pumpkins this past weekend and I got new decorations last week. Today is time to add a new craft and that will be a flying witch craft.
We have made witches in the past from a paper plate or a paper cup. Our new paper witch has her broom with her and she had to put it to good use. She’s using it to fly under the moon. Yes, we had to add a round yellow moon to our craft. 🙂
