Dear Parents, With Halloween just around the corner, we understand that you may be looking for the perfect costume for your little ones. If your child has expressed an interest in dressing up as a witch, we have the perfect witch disguise for 4-year-olds! Our witch disguise is designed specifically for young children, with their comfort and safety in mind. It consists of a black pointy hat, a black cape, and a dress with various witch-themed designs. The hat is made of soft, lightweight material that won't cause any discomfort or irritation to your child's head. The cape is also made of a breathable fabric that allows for easy movement while still giving the appearance of a flowing witch's cloak. One of the main concerns parents have when it comes to Halloween costumes is the use of makeup or face paint.
“When you have seene a carde privilie, or as though you marked it not, laie the same undermost, and shuffle the cards as before you are taught, till your card lie againe below the bottome. Then shew the same to the beholders, willing them to remember it: then shuffle the cards, or let anie other shuffle them;for you know the car already, and therefore may at anie time tell them what card they saw: which nevertheless would be done with great circumstance and shew of difficultie.”
The Discoverie of Witchcraft is considered to be the first published book on witchcraft, and is a wonderful record of superstition and belief in witchcraft, spirits, alchemy and magic in the 16th century. Scot goes after everyone in his book, discrediting those who believe in witches as heretics, witch-hunters as corrupt, and those who claim to be witches as mentally ill.
One of the main concerns parents have when it comes to Halloween costumes is the use of makeup or face paint. Our witch disguise does not require any makeup, eliminating the need for potentially harmful or irritating products on your child's sensitive skin. Instead, the emphasis is on the outfit itself, with the dress featuring vibrant colors and fun witch-themed designs.
The Discoverie of Witchcraft
They sacrifice their owne children to the divell before baptisme, holding them up in the aire unto him, and then thrust a needle into their braines … They use incestuous adulterie with spirits … They eate the flesh and drinke the bloud of men and children openlie … They kill mens cattell … They bewitch mens corne … They ride and flie in the aire, bring stormes, make tempests … They use venerie with a divell called Incubus and have children by them, which become the best witches …
In 1584, when there were few who would even defend witches against these charges, Reginald Scot went one step further. He actually set out to prove that witches did not and could not exist! King James later found Scot’s opinion so heretical that he ordered all copies of his book to be burned. But so rich and full of data on the charges against witches, on witch trials and on the actual practice of the black arts was Scot’s Discoverie of Witchcraft that it remained a much-used source throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and is still one of the few primary sources for the study of witchcraft today.
At the heart of Scot’s book are stories and charges pulled from the writers of the Inquisition about the supposed nature of witches. Scot believed that the utter absurdity of the facts would be enough to stop belief in witchcraft forever. But he also goes on to give opinions of medical authorities, interviews with those convicted of witchcraft, and details about the two-faced practices of those in charge of the inquisitions to show even further why the charges of witchcraft were simply not true. In later chapters Scot details the other side of the question through a study of the black arts that are not purely imaginary. He discusses poisoners, jugglers, conjurers, charmers, soothsayers, figure-casters, dreamers, alchemists, and astrologers and, in turn, sets down the actual practices of each group and shows how the acts depend not upon the devil but upon either trickery or skill. In the process, many of the magician’s secrets and much other folk and professional lore of the time is made available to the reader of today.
Shortly after the Spanish Inquisition, directly in the wake of Sprenger and Kramer’s Malleus Maleficarum, during the great upsurge of witch trials in Britain, Scot was a direct witness to the witchmonger in one of witch-hunting’s bloodiest eras. Whatever your interest in witchcraft — either historical, psychological, or sympathetic — Scot, in his disproof, tells you much more about the subject than the many, many contemporary writers on the other side of the question.

Reviews for "Witch costumes that won't scare your 4 year old"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with the Witch disguise for 4 year olds. The quality was really poor and it looked nothing like the picture advertised. The fabric was flimsy and cheap, and the stitching was coming apart after just one use. Additionally, the size was not accurate at all. The costume was way too big for my 4-year-old daughter and she couldn't even wear it properly. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I purchased the Witch disguise for my niece's 4th birthday party and I was not impressed. The costume was uncomfortable and made of scratchy material that irritated her skin. The hat was also too small and kept falling off her head. The overall design was cute, but the execution was really poor. I expected better quality for the price I paid. I would suggest looking for a different costume option.

I bought the Witch disguise for my 4-year-old daughter for Halloween, and it was a big letdown. The costume looked adorable in the picture, but in reality, it was poorly made. The velcro closures on the back kept coming undone, and it was a constant struggle to keep the costume on. The accessories that came with it, like the broom and wand, were also very flimsy and broke within minutes of play. I wish I had chosen a different option for her costume.
