What can we use if we don't have stickers, glitter, or special colouring materials?

If you don't have stickers, glitter, or special colouring materials, use crayons or markers and glue on magazine cutouts, coloured construction paper, or fabric scraps to decorate the character sheet after you sketch with your pencil.

My child can't draw the full-body outline well—what should we try?

If drawing the full-body outline feels hard, start with a simple stick-figure or trace a printed silhouette, then add costume details like a hat, cloak, buttons, or boots and gently erase extra pencil lines as you refine the sketch.

How can we change the activity for younger or older kids?

For younger kids, give a printed body outline to trace, let them pick and stick the three costume pieces and write a one-sentence backstory, while older kids can add measured wand material and length, three detailed power descriptions, full colour swatches, and a five-sentence backstory with a big goal.

What are fun ways to extend or personalize the witch/wizard persona after finishing the sheet?

To extend the activity, make one real costume piece from the three chosen items, craft a physical wand matching your drawn material and length, invent extra spells for each of the three powers, and photograph or video the finished sheet to share on DIY.org.

Facts about character creation and storytelling

🪄 Wands show up in fairy tales and folklore from many cultures and have been part of magical stories for centuries.

🧙‍♀️ The word "wizard" comes from Middle English and is linked to the idea of being "wise" — a helper who knows secrets.

✨ Character sheets (like those used in Dungeons & Dragons) keep track of powers, gear, and backstories so stories stay consistent.

🎭 A costume’s colors and accessories can tell people a lot about a character before they say a single word.

📜 Famous magical names often mix real language roots, nature words, and made-up syllables to feel magical and unique.

How do you create a witch or wizard persona?

To create a witch or wizard persona, start by choosing a memorable name and signature costume style. Design a wand and pick two or three magical powers with clear limits and weaknesses. Write a short backstory explaining origin, goals, and quirks. Draw a character sheet with a portrait, wand sketch, symbols, and basic traits like bravery or kindness. Finish by roleplaying a scene or sharing the sheet with family to bring the character to life.

What materials do I need to make a witch or wizard persona character sheet?

You'll need paper or printable character sheets, pencils and erasers, colored pencils, markers or crayons, and a ruler for layout. Add craft items like stickers, glitter glue, fabric scraps, felt, and safe gems for collage wands or costume details. Optional supplies: scissors, glue stick, hole punch, string, and simple props like a toy hat. For a digital option, use a tablet or computer and basic drawing software. Keep small pieces away from very young children.

What ages is the create-your-witch-or-wizard-persona activity suitable for?

This activity suits ages about 5–12. Preschoolers (5–6) enjoy simplified choices and adult help with writing and cutting, using picture prompts and limited options. Elementary kids (7–9) can manage most steps independently and write short backstories. Older children (10–12) like deeper character development, complex powers, and longer narratives. Adapt complexity, time, and materials to attention spans, and supervise cutting, small decorations, and shared roleplay.

What are the benefits of creating a witch or wizard persona?

Creating a witch or wizard persona boosts imagination, storytelling, and writing skills as children invent names, powers, and backstories. It strengthens fine motor skills through drawing and crafting, improves vocabulary, and encourages empathy by exploring character motivations. Group versions build social skills and cooperation through shared roleplay. For variety, make a magical school, create a family of witches, or turn the character sheet into a short comic strip to extend creativity and
