DLTK's Crafts for Kids Wacky Witch Paper Craft

Materials you will need are a printer, paper, scissors, glue, and something to colour with.   The photo of the witch we made is the large version -- it takes more paper, but my girls like BIG crafts *grin*. OPTIONAL MATERIALS:   thin cardboard (old cereal boxes) brass tacks hole punch

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Print out the template of choice (there's a small version and a larger version). 
   
• Colour pieces, as necessary. 
   
• Cut out the pieces.  This step may require adult assistance.  I usually let my 3 year old cut out the large pieces (like template 1 and 4) and I cut out the smaller pieces
   
• Glue the witch together as follows:
  • glue the head on top of the hat
  • glue the hair on top of the head
  • glue the yellow star onto the hat
  • glue the put together head onto the dress
  • glue the pumpkin, frog or cat (your choice) onto the center of the chest
  • glue the arms onto the dress, overlapping the pumpkin, frog or cat so it looks like the witch is hugging it
  • glue the legs under the dress 
     
• altERNATIVE ASSEMBLY - moveable limbs:
  • glue the first template (dress) and the third template (arms and legs) onto thin cardboard before cutting them out
  • glue the head on top of the hat
  • glue the hair on top of the head
  • glue the yellow star onto the hat
  • glue the put together head onto the dress
  • glue the pumpkin, frog or cat (your choice) onto the center of the chest
  • punch a hole in each of the arms and legs with a hole punch. 
  • punch a hole through the dress where the arms and legs would be attached (shoulders and bottom of the dress)
  • put the brass tacks through the limbs and the dress so that the limbs are moveable.

Templates:  

• Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
   
• Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
