SO MANY WAYS TO COMPLETE THE HALLOWEEN CRAFTS

HALLOWEEN COLORED PENCIL ACTIVITY

Turn the templates into a simple Halloween colored pencil activity by letting children choose their own Halloween color palette.

Kids can use orange, purple, green, yellow, black and other colors to decorate the bat, pumpkin, witch, monster, ghost, spider and other Halloween characters.

Colored pencils also work well for combining traditional coloring with textured craft materials. Children can color the face or background areas first and then add pom-poms, yarn, feathers, tissue paper or foam pieces on top.

This makes the pages useful as a Halloween coloring and craft activity rather than just a standard coloring worksheet.

⸻

HALLOWEEN MARKER ACTIVITY

Use crayons or markers to turn the templates into a quick Halloween marker activity for kids.

Children can:

Color individual sections of the pumpkin
Create patterns on the witch hat
Add colorful designs to the cauldron
Decorate the monster with stripes, spots or shapes
Create their own Halloween cat pattern
Add designs to the bat wings
Color the spider with Halloween colors

This is an easy option for Halloween classroom activities, morning work, independent work and early finisher activities when you want minimal preparation.

⸻

HALLOWEEN DOT MARKER ACTIVITY

The large open spaces also work beautifully as a Halloween dot marker activity.

Children can fill the templates using:

Dot markers
Do-a-Dot markers
Bingo daubers
Bingo markers
Paint dabbers

Create an orange and purple pumpkin, a green bubbling cauldron, a colorful monster or a patterned witch hat using repeated dots.

This turns the templates into a fun Halloween Do a Dot activity, Halloween bingo dauber activity or Halloween dot painting activity without needing a separate worksheet pack.

⸻

HALLOWEEN WASHABLE PAINT ACTIVITY

Use washable tempera or kids’ paint for a Halloween washable paint activity.

Children can paint directly inside the bold outlines using brushes, sponge brushes or small craft sponges.

Ideas include:

Orange painted pumpkin
Purple witch hat
Green monster
Black and orange bat
Purple and green cauldron
Orange and black Halloween cat

Because the designs contain large open spaces, children have plenty of room to paint while still being able to see the main character outline.

⸻

HALLOWEEN FINGER PAINT ACTIVITY

The templates can also be used as a Halloween finger paint activity for kids.

Children can dip their fingertips into washable paint and create fingerprints, dots, swirls or patterns inside the Halloween shapes.

Try:

Fingerprint spots on the monster
Orange fingerprints across the pumpkin
Purple and green fingerprints inside the cauldron
Black and orange fingerprints on the bat
Colorful fingerprint patterns on the witch hat

This creates a hands-on Halloween painting activity while giving every child a different finished result.

⸻

TORN PAPER HALLOWEEN CRAFT

Turn the templates into a Halloween torn paper craft using construction paper, colored paper or scrapbook paper.

Children can tear paper into small pieces and glue them inside the designs.

Ideas include:

Purple and orange torn-paper bat
Orange torn-paper pumpkin
Green and purple monster
Black and orange Halloween cat
Purple witch hat

Tearing and arranging the small pieces creates an easy Halloween paper collage activity that works especially well for classroom craft stations.

⸻

HALLOWEEN TISSUE PAPER CRAFT

Use small pieces of colored tissue paper to create a Halloween tissue paper craft.

Children can scrunch, tear or layer tissue paper and glue it onto the printable template.

Try:

Orange tissue paper pumpkin
White tissue paper ghost
Purple tissue paper witch hat
Green and purple monster
Orange and black bat

The lightweight tissue gives the finished craft a textured, dimensional appearance and works well for Halloween classroom displays and bulletin boards.

⸻

HALLOWEEN POM-POM CRAFT

Add small craft pom-poms to create a colorful Halloween pom-pom activity.

The monster is especially fun for pom-pom decorating, but children can also use them on the pumpkin, witch hat, cauldron, spider or bat.

Use Halloween colors such as:

Purple
Green
Orange
Yellow
Black

Children can glue the pom-poms inside the design or create simple color patterns.

This works well as a Halloween fine motor activity and Halloween craft center.

⸻

HALLOWEEN YARN CRAFT

Use pieces of yarn to create a Halloween yarn craft for kids.

Children can cut short pieces of yarn and glue them along the outline or inside different parts of the character.

The spider can be filled using purple, orange and black yarn, while the monster, witch, cat or pumpkin can also be decorated using different yarn colors and patterns.

It creates a completely different texture from paper or paint and is great for a Halloween art center activity.

⸻

HALLOWEEN PLAY-DOH ACTIVITY

Place the printed page inside a reusable sleeve or laminate it and turn the templates into a Halloween Play-Doh activity.

Children can roll, flatten and press Play-Doh or modeling dough onto the shapes.

Ideas include:

Purple Play-Doh witch hat
Orange Play-Doh pumpkin
Green monster
Purple cauldron
Black and orange bat

Children can also roll small Play-Doh balls, snakes and shapes to decorate the templates.

This creates a reusable Halloween Play Dough mat activity and gives the printable another way to be used beyond paper crafting.

⸻

HALLOWEEN CRAFT FOAM ACTIVITY

Cut colorful craft foam into small squares or shapes and use the templates for a Halloween craft foam mosaic activity.

Children can glue the foam pieces inside the designs to create a colorful mosaic effect.

The witch, monster, pumpkin and witch hat work especially well for this method.

Use combinations such as purple, teal, orange, green, yellow and black for a bright Halloween look.

⸻

HALLOWEEN COTTON BALL CRAFT

The ghost template works perfectly as a Halloween cotton ball craft.

Children can pull apart cotton balls and glue them onto the ghost to create a soft, fluffy texture.

Cotton can also be combined with:

Colored pom-poms
Tissue paper
Glitter paper
Colored pencil details

This makes an easy ghost craft for kids for Halloween classroom or party activities.

⸻

HALLOWEEN MUMMY GAUZE CRAFT

Use white or cream gauze strips to create a Halloween mummy craft.

Children can cut or tear short strips of gauze and glue them across the mummy template, layering the strips while leaving the eyes visible.

The mummy can also be decorated with:

Medical-style gauze
Craft gauze
White fabric strips
Ribbon
Yarn

This creates a fun textured mummy Halloween activity that looks very different from ordinary coloring pages.

⸻

HALLOWEEN FEATHER CRAFT

Use lightweight craft feathers to transform the templates into a Halloween feather craft.

Feathers can be arranged on the cat, monster, bat or other Halloween designs.

Try orange, black, cream or brown feathers on the cat, or mix purple, green and orange feathers for a colorful Halloween character.

Children can combine feather decorating with colored-pencil details so facial features remain visible.

⸻

HALLOWEEN STICKER ACTIVITY

The templates can even be used as a Halloween sticker activity.

Children can fill the open spaces using:

Foam stickers
Circle stickers
Halloween stickers
Colored dot stickers
Shape stickers

This is an especially easy option for classrooms, daycare settings and Halloween party craft tables.

Try combining:

Markers + pom-poms
Washable paint + tissue paper
Dot markers + stickers
Yarn + crayons
Craft foam + markers
Cotton balls + colored pencils
