  • Have children paint their piece completely green.
  • Next grab your black paint pen and finish off with some black “wrinkles” all over.
  • Repeat for each piece you want to make. Set aside.
  • While those are drying, grab your black cardstock and scissors & cut out a pointy fingernail for each piece.
  • To finish off the Popsicle Stick Witch Finger – have children glue their cardstock pieces in place on the painted popsicle sticks to represent nails.
  • Then finish off with any other “witchy” embellishments for a one-of-a-kind look & set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!

Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use.
