We’ll have the entire Halloween tiered tray reveal soon. I even made an acorn garland but with black, gray and gold paints! It’s coming together so nicely with a these burlap Halloween characters, faux spell book stack, crackle finish wood block signs and punny potion bottles. This year I was motivated to DIY a bunch of Halloween crafts to decorate my 3-tiered tray. It’s comes together really quickly requiring just a few supplies. We shared the tutorial for making this mini witch’s broom craft on a recent Facebook Live video which you can find here. Use recyclables, legos, Kinex, etc.This simple witch’s broom craft is about as easy as it gets and creates adorable decor for your tiered tray, tablescape or other Halloween decorating!

#MAKE A WITCHES BROOM FULL#
The final broom in this story is just full of fun and imaginative features: the light, the seats, the shower! What can your kids think of to make a truly magnificent broom for the witch and her friends!īrainstorm some ideas of what the various animals might like, or have them think of a feature they would like if they were riding on the broom. Test it out: If you are at home, fill with a tasty beverage! Then allow your child to drink the “soup” – they can even mutter a spell, “Iggety, ziggety, zaggety, ZOOM!” and then move on to the last step – a truly magnificent broom! A Truly Magnificent Broom Ask them to measure it with standard or nonstandard units (lego bricks, snap cubes, etc.) For your little ones, have them create a table, perch, or other structure that supports the cauldron from the bottom. Make it easier: The sample above shows a handle and the cauldron supported from above.
The witch is cooking up a feast with all the ingredients the animals found. Test it out: Fly the broom around! Does it stay together? Cauldron StandĬreate a stand for a cauldron! Students can design and create their own cauldron first or you can supply a small paper or plastic cup to use. Show them the broom (or take a photo) and then ask them to put it back how it was. Make it easier: For your young kids, build a simple broom with legos, duplos, or snap cubes. Why not encourage your kids to be fixers? I am guilty of this, too, sometimes, but it isn’t always the best way. We live in an age where it’s often just easier to throw away something old and buy a new one. Students should then repair the broom so it’s serviceable. (be careful with splinters, but if you are doing this at home I prefer to use wood) and snap it in half or an index card as shown above. Before creating a new broomstick (we’ll get to that), why not see if you can fix the old one! For this you can use an old pencil, bamboo skewer, etc. The broomstick snaps in half during the story. Get your wind tunnel ready (a desk fan will do though) and make sure it doesn’t fly away! Broomstick Repair
Test it out: Make sure your students test their designs. Have your kids make guesses as to which will stay on or come off with wind. Make it easier: For your youngest students, gather various hats from around your home: baseball caps, winter hats, sun hats, costume hats, etc. Your students will become milliners for the day while they create a new hat that won’t fly off in the wind! What is to prevent that from happening again? Why, a new and improved hat! Your kids may want to create a traditional-style witch hat or their own creative version – perhaps an aviator cap or a football-style chapeau. The witch loses her hat at the beginning of the story. Why not try some STEM activities to bring the story alive?ĭon’t have the book (affiliate link, read our disclosure here)? You can watch the animated version at home with your kids if you have Amazon Prime or on Netflix here. Unlike the witches in fairy tales, this one is a keeper. One of the things I love is that this is a story about unlikely friendships is light and cheery despite having a witch as the main character. This read aloud appeals to kids of all ages. Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson is a Halloween classic and for good reason.
