My inspiration for this project is the book "Miss Nelson is Missing" by Harry Allard. My younger students LOVE this book and love the ending. They're certainly glad they don't have a teacher like Ms. Viola Swamp!
Technically, this is the implied bottom-half of Viola Swamp. Realistically, it's a witch. Gasp! Choke! Cough! Ahem!
You will need:
12x18 colored paper for the background
9x12 colored paper for the skirt
small fabric swatch for the patch
assorted buttons for decoration
3"x3" square pieces to fan-fold for the bows on the shoes
black and white crayons
witch shoe tracers (made mine out of old file folders)
I do this project step-by-step with my kiddos and it takes ONE day (55 minutes). We cut a symmetrical skirt, add the legs/stockings and glue on the rest. I sure don't tell them it's a (gasp!) witch, but we do this around the end of October, so take it like you see it. Have fun...
