Are witches balls for kids?
1 Answer
There is no age limit on witches balls; however, they are meant to be ornamental and may not serve as the best toys since they are typically made from glass. A witches ball, similar to a ball ornament, is a hollow glass sphere originally hung in windows to ward off evil spirits in the 17th and 18th century. You can shop a selection of witches balls from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
