And the image of a fairy-tale witch, enchanting and funny, was especially loved by children and teenagers.
So, let's get started?
Image options for children
Many children love Halloween. After all, on this day you can misbehave with impunity and scare everyone around you. An equally tempting tradition has emerged of dressing up as zombies, ghosts, vampires, walking around the city and demanding sweets from adults. What child doesn't love tasty treats?
On the eve of October 31, themed matinees are organized in kindergartens and schools . This is an opportunity to show off your scariest costume to your friends. Even a child can make a mask for a holiday gathering. But parents can always help in this matter. There are dozens of detailed lessons and videos on the Internet on how to make a mask for Halloween.
There are recommendations for a child's look on All Saints' Day. A mask for a child should resemble a horror movie hero, but the face will be more funny than truly scary. This will be enough to make your little Halloween lover happy.

Advantages and disadvantages
“Witch” jigs have the following advantages:
- exceptional catchability;
- the opportunity to catch different types of fish;
- fishing creativity, i.e. the ability to use various methods of bait animation;
- the ability to catch larger fish;
- the opportunity to catch cautious fish;
- versatility, i.e. possibility of use in different conditions;
- relatively low cost of finished products.
The disadvantages of witches are:
- susceptibility to snagging, resulting in limited use in “strong” places;
- quite difficult to make with your own hands.
Collecting gear for fishing with a witch
To choose the right tackle, you need to know what is included in the standard set. It includes a fishing rod with a whip or a rod, a nod, a fishing line and a jig.
Fishing rod
Choosing a fishing rod is a sensitive issue for a fisherman. For fishing with a “witch,” any rod of your choice is suitable, be it a spinning rod for catching perch or a homemade rod for winter fishing. The main thing is that the tip of the fishing rod is flexible and pliable, so you will clearly control the frequency of vibrations when retrieving. Remember, it is important to choose a rod that can withstand the average weight of the expected catch.
fishing line
Line selection is an important aspect of successful fishing, so be careful. Remember that the thickness and strength must correspond not only to the mass and characteristics of the bait of the fish you are going to “hunt”, but also to the size and weight of the selected bait. The smaller the tackle, the thinner the line should be.
How to properly tie a witch
This process will not cause you any difficulties, since the jig is equipped with a special eye or ring in the upper part, so standard fishing knots are used for fastening.
How to choose in the store?
When going to the store, you should have a good idea of the conditions in which you will be fishing. Conditions mean:
- Depth at the upcoming fishing spot.
- Presence or absence of current.
- The degree of activity of the fish. The lower the activity, the smaller the witch should be.
- It is also important what kind of fish to catch.
- You should also pay attention to decorations, although usually fishermen always have their own supply of these elements of hook equipment.
- Finally, it is necessary to evaluate the quality of workmanship. There should be no burrs, hooks should hang freely, painting should be without visible defects.
Witch entertainment
What do creatures from other worlds do at a party? For example, they brew a rejuvenating potion!
It could be mulled wine, punch or sangria. The main thing is the process. Move the necessary ingredients into bottles with magical inscriptions. Or sign the labels.
You can cook it in a large cauldron. In the process, you should tell stories about the afterlife, get-togethers with vampires and zombies, the ingredients of the recipe and the magical effect.
When the drink is ready, you should pour it into crystal glasses and empty the glasses to spectacular music.
And then the competitions begin! We suggest trying the following scenario.
Competition No. 1: magical hairstyle
All “witches” are given a hairdryer, hairspray, glitter, straightener and... 5 minutes! To create the most fashionable and most witchy hairstyle on your head.
Original names of “creations” are welcome.
The most creative one wins!
Competition #2: Catch the Witch
Two players become “witch hunters”. They are blindfolded with a scarf. Witches are given bells. There are a few minutes to get lost in the crowd, and then the host gives the sign to begin.
Witches move in space, and hunters try to catch them. The winner is the one who “caught” the most witches within a certain time.
Active music is well suited for this competition.
Contest #3: Vampire's Meal
Players are given a glass of red juice. For example, tomato. And a straw. The participants' task is to empty the glass as quickly as possible.
This game is suitable for both adult parties and children.
Competition No. 4: the most bloodthirsty face
Invite your guests to put on their most terrifying face, and then take a photo. Choose who causes fear and goosebumps more than the rest!
And don't forget to prepare gifts for participants! These could be sweets, toys, masks, jaws, certificates.
Enjoy your evening!
Halloween Craft Layout
First we make the body, for which we fold a large black semicircle and glue the sides. Then we fold the black circle three times to make a hat, cut out the middle and make teeth.
We put the circle on the cone until it stops, secure it with a little glue.
We round and glue a white rectangular piece of paper under the hat. We draw a face with a felt-tip pen.
To make the broom and hair, cut one wide side of the orange paper into small strips, not reaching the end a little.
For the broom, roll it around a toothpick.
For hair, twist thin strips with a pencil so that there are bristling strands.
Glue the strands onto a cone immediately under the hat and align them near the face. If they are long, you can cut off the excess.
On the back of the witch we glue a black strip, which will be our hands, and stick a toothpick into the tip as a broom. By the way, the strip for the arms can be cut in different widths. The tips may be slightly wider. As a result, it will seem that the witch is wearing a spacious black robe with wide sleeves.
A green stripe on the hat will complete the look.
A Halloween witch made of paper with her pet – a black cat. He is somewhat larger than his owner, but in the world of magic and mysticism anything can happen.

You can also make a bat for Halloween.
Making a witch jig with your own hands
Experienced fishermen are often not satisfied with ready-made gear; many prefer the method of making bait with their own hands. Assembling the gear will not take much time, and the result of fishing will bring a bonus in the form of a large catch.
What materials are needed
For work you will need: a cone-shaped sinker weighing 2-3 g, multi-colored beads, hooks with a long shank, thin wire, pliers, a file, a hacksaw.
