Teaching witchlings

I am very excited today, My daughter is coming home from her aunts! On Saturday we painted her room and bought some Moshi Monsters  wall stickers,   It will be a lovely surprise for her. the home coming also means that I can resume her teaching. There are lovely websites geared towards children of pagan parents. I particularly like the Pooka Pages  as they not only have cute little stories of a little witch called Elsie,  and her cat pooka, they also have a little witches book of shadows section, a kitchen witch section and a free e-zine that comes out during the sabbats. When teaching your little witches  it is important to make the lessons fun, as hands on as possible and short. The time spent on daily or weekly lessons depends on the age and temperment of your child. For my girl, lessons last only 10-20 minutes. You should also make sure that the lessons are age centered as well. That's another great thing about Pooka Pages, they give you brillant art projects and lessons. Even the simplest things can be turned into mini lessons such as taking a nature walk, identifying plants and their magickal uses. Use your imagination and it is assured that your child will learn lessons that will last a life time!
