Which Switch Witch Is Which

March 16, 2018 by Scarecrow Leave a Comment

          For this post, I’m going to talk about the Switch Witch dolls, briefly.   I’ve mentioned them quite a few times already.   So, I thought I would go into more depth.   I bought one for my daughter during this last Halloween.   I had heard about them before and decided to give it a try.
          So, the gimmick for the Switch Witch is that you can use it as a way to keep your children from eating too much candy after Halloween.   The children choose some, (or all), of their candy to donate to the witch, and she, in turn, flies away to her village, taking the candy and leaving a little toy behind.   Obviously, this is for the good children.
          There are, currently, two different kinds.   The one I chose, Switchcrafted, looks more like a witch, and a person, than the other one, which is the whole reason I chose it.   It doesn’t come with much: just the witch doll and a booklet.   The doll is a lot like the Elf-On-The-Shelf doll, in that you place up somewhere in your house to “keep watch” on your kids.   Also, you’re supposed to move it around during the month of October.   Just like the Elf-On-The-Shelf, you child is encouraged to give the witch a name.
          The booklet it comes with is a neat little book.   It has pictures and a little story about how the witch comes from a little village in the woods somewhere and that they’re all as happy as can be.   The story goes on to say that their village gets cold in the winter and they use the candy, that your child trades with them, to heat their homes.   It’s a well constructed story that rhymes, with only a couple of minor typos.
          I think it was a good purchase.   It’s not too expensive and my daughter loved it.   For about a month afterward, she asked about the witch and where it had gone, right up until the Elf-On-The-Shelf showed up.   Then, she obsessed about her.   I recommend it.   It’s a good way for the kids to connect to the holiday.   Plus, I think it has a more positive self-image for the girls.   Not all witches have to be green-skinned, ugly, and scary.   Cue cackling.
