Product Information

The word broom comes from the actual plant, or shrub, that was used to make many early sweeping devices. It gradually replaced the Old English word besom, though both terms appear to have been used until at least the 18th century. From the beginning, brooms and besoms were associated primarily with women, and this ubiquitous household object became a powerful symbol of female domesticity. This spooky Happy Halloween coloring sheet has a witch that fell into her cauldron as well as a broom, witch hat, crystal ball, and potion to color in. It’s impossible to know whether such stories, reported at the height of anxiety over witchcraft in Europe in the Middle Ages, reflected reality or not. Most of what we know about medieval witchcraft today comes from the records of religious inquisitors, legal officials and testimony from accused witches themselves (often while being tortured). Pharmacologist David Kroll writes in Forbes that alleged witches in the Middle Ages were thought to concoct their brews from such plants as Atropa belladonna (deadly nightshade), Hyoscyamus niger (henbane), Mandragora officinarum (mandrake) and Datura stramonium (jimsonweed), all of which would have produced hallucinogenic chemicals known as tropane alkaloids.

You’ll find lots of different witch pictures to color for all ages and skill levels. There’s something for everyone. Despite this, the first witch to confess to riding a broom or besom was a man: Guillaume Edelin. Edelin was a priest from Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near Paris. He was arrested in 1453 and tried for witchcraft after publicly criticizing the church’s warnings about witches. His confession came under torture, and he eventually repented but was still imprisoned for life. For the witches hats you need Keebler Grasshopper Fudge Mint Cookie, Hershey’s Kisses, and Icing or Melted Chocolate. I used melted white chocolate chips and microwaved them for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between so it doesn’t burn, until it was a smooth consistency.
