1. (White or tinted cards, Palmer Cox Brownies, ink, pen)
The Brownies are delightfully funny little people without a suggestion of anything coarse or evil. The children love them. Let the older ones copy and cut them out to use as invitation cards for the Hallowe'en party or for place cards.
2. (See "Pricking," [page 165].)
Since witches are always associated with the pricking of pins, this is an appropriate occasion for using the kindergarten pricking. Outline some of the Brownies on tinted cards and prick as directed on [page 165].
3. (See Pumpkin Jack-o'-lantern cards, [page 135].)
