Witches & Black Cats: a free large-print word search

Witches & Black Cats, a free, large-print Halloween word search steeped in midnight skies, glowing cauldrons, and the purr of a black cat on a windowsill.

About Witches & Black Cats

When October nights turn cold and the moon hangs full and low, the witch has always ruled the darkness, stirring her cauldron, whispering spells, and riding a broom across a sky lit only by stars. Her black cat moves silently beside her, eyes catching the candlelight, fur like a piece of the night itself. From village folklore to storybooks and Halloween doorsteps, this pair has cast their spell over the imagination for centuries.
