Amulet and earrings inspired by Skylar Robbins
Another Skylar Robbins reader makes an amulet for protection.
Samuel also makes a protective amulet like Kat’s and Skylar’s from The Mystery of Shadow Hills.
After reading the following passage from SKYLAR ROBBINS: THE MYSTERY OF SHADOW HILLS, one family was inspired to copy the creative projects suggested to 13-year-old Skylar by her new BFF, Kat, the Malibu middle school witch:
“I don’t have any ideas yet,” I admitted to Kat. “How about you?”
“I have a bunch of them,” she said, leaning toward me. “We can decorate a special box for our amulets. We can go down to the beach and collect stones with different powers and weave a basket for them. We can embroider spirit pouches and fill them with herbs, feathers, incense, and seashells. We can use our leftover liquid lead and glass stain and decorate a candle holder with Wiccan symbols.”
My new friend was amazing. “What’s Wiccan?” I mouthed.
She looked around. No one was listening. “Witchcraft.”
The kids had so much fun!!! They are always scouring for new rocks to make another amulet still. Next project will be boxes to keep them 🙂 So much fun. We are reading the book as a family every night intrigued by the entire adventure.
Thanks for leaving a comment, CIndy! I’m so thrilled that your kids liked my book. I didn’t mean to leave one of them out–do you have a picture of your other daughter wearing or holding her amulet?
This is terrific. How fun!
