In Western society, witches are usually shown with green skin. Why do witches have green skin? Why not black, or purple, or blue?

Witches being portrayed as having green things is a recent thing, in fact, the first green witch was the Wicked Witch of the West, from The Wizard of Oz!

About the Materials for Halloween Treat Cups

Green Paper Cups – Purchase green cups to to make this craft easier or you can colour in white paper cups or wrap them with green coloured paper. Your choice!

Green card stock – Green card stock if you want these to last, but lower quality construction paper works too.

Paint Markers – Paper cups are usually coated so regular markers won’t “stick”, pick up some paint markers instead.

Straw – Raffia is the easiest to find and use for this craft.

Googly eyes – Black googly eyes look best but you can have fun with coloured eyes too.

Glue – White school glue works fine.

Pipe cleaner (optional) – We used sparkly pipe cleaner to embellish the hats.
