   Ella has lost her powerful magic wand! She needs a new one. Search the forest for a long, strong stick. Decorate it with everything you find in the forest or have with you for crafting: feathers, leaves, cones, ribbons. Show Ella how creative you are!

   Ella can't fly without her broom! We need to make her a new one. Look for thin, flexible branches and tie them to a long stick. Use strings or moss to secure them. Voila, a witch's broom!

   Ella's loyal owl has disappeared! Help her create a new one. Collect stones, leaves, fruits, or twigs and create an owl figure on the forest floor. Ella will be thrilled!

   Ella needs a basket to collect her magical materials. Find a large maple leaf and carefully shape it into a basket. Use the stem to tie it securely. There’s no better witch's basket!

   With the new basket, it's time to go berry picking! Ella needs these for her potions. Collect as many berries as you can, but only if you are sure they are non-toxic.

   Now it's time to use the magic of words to bring Ella's items back to life. Stand in a circle and repeat this simple chant: "Magic here, magic there, Ella's things, now be there!"
