Craft Ideas To Make With Halloween Coloring Sheets

Looking for fun activities that can lower stress or keep the kids busy this Halloween?

Using this collection of free Halloween coloring pages as inspiration, we've compiled 17 project ideas designed to bring your family together.

1. Boo-tiful Bunting

Print a variety of pages that will get you in the festive spirit at 25-50% scale. Then, color them in using different colors.

Next, cut the coloring pages into triangles or shapes such as bats, pumpkins, ghosts, or candy corn.

Punch holes at the top corners of each piece and thread a long string through the holes.

Hang your ghoulish garland across your classroom or living room for easy DIY decor during October.

2. Eerie Lanterns

Print spider webs, scary witches, and pumpkin coloring pages. After filling them in, cut out the designs.

Apply glue on the back of the cutouts and stick them on the outside of a glass jar or clear plastic container.

Place a battery-operated candle inside and set your DIY lantern on a windowsill or side table to cast eerie-colored shadows around the room.

3. Bewitching Bookmarks

Print witch coloring pages at 25% scale and trim into strips around 2 x 6 inches.

Use a hole puncher to create a hole at the top of each bookmark.

Loop a piece of orange, black, or purple yarn through the hole to finish off your Halloween bookmark.

Hand out as a candy-alternative for trick-or-treating!

4. Frightfully Fun Fridge Magnets

Cut out creepy sections of your colored designs and stick them onto adhesive magnetic strips.

Stick these fun, spooky magnets on your fridge to hold up your favorite seasonal recipes or reminders.

5. Decoupage Gourds

Choose your favorite illustrations featuring spooky spiders, jack o'lanterns, and adorable ghosts.

Color the printable pictures and cut out the main shapes.

Apply a layer of Mod Podge onto a real or artificial pumpkin and stick your images on it.

Cover the images with another layer of Mod Podge to seal them. This can be a great twist on traditional pumpkin carving, especially if small children struggle with the sensory experience of pumpkin "guts."

6. Wickedly Welcome

Cut your colored pages into leaves or other Halloween-themed shapes like sweet bats or cute ghosts.

Arrange these shapes into a circle on a cardboard base and glue them down.

Tie a ribbon at the top of your door wreath and hang it to greet trick-or-treaters.

7. Spooky Scrapbook

Glue your colored drawings to the front of a blank notebook or scrapbook.

Inside, add photos of your kids or pets in their Halloween costumes.

Then, write captions and decorate the pages with stickers and washi tape to capture your favorite memories of the season.

8. Halloween Greeting Cards

Print a ghost coloring page at 50% scale and fill it with vibrant shades.

Fold a piece of cardstock in half and glue your colored design to the front. Write a Happy Halloween message inside.

Add additional decorations like glitter or stickers. (I personally love puffy paint!)

For a pop-up card: cut out an image, fold a piece of paper accordion-style, and glue the image to the end. Glue the other end of the accordion fold to the inside of the card. When opened, the image will "pop" out and scare the reader!

9. Terrifying Table Toppers

Glue your colored pages onto a larger piece of construction paper or cardstock.

Trim to the desired placemat size, then laminate them to protect the designs from spills.

These DIY placemats can add the perfect festive feeling and protect your table from kids and adults of all ages.

10. Scary Snapshots

To make a All Hallows' Eve picture frame, cut out your favorite elements from your colored designs.

Use Mod Podge to glue your cutouts to a photo frame. Then, cover the frame with another layer of glue to seal it.

Place a holiday photo inside the frame to capture special spooky memories.

11. Ghostly Glass Decor

Turn your artwork into a hauntingly beautiful window display.

Print out free Halloween coloring pages and fill them in with vivid markers or colored pencils. Then, cut out the designs and attach them to your windows using double-sided tape. 

Watch your windows come to life with grinning ghosts, scary spiders, jack o-lanterns, and monstrous mummies!

12. Monster Masks

Design your own DIY Halloween mask using our detailed drawings. Print your favorite illustration at 50% scale and fill with color.

Trim the printout to the desired shape and size. Then, punch holes on both sides. Attach a string or elastic band through the holes.

Put on your one-of-a-kind mask and transform into a witch, vampire, or any other creepy creature you desire.

13. Trick or Treat Bags

Make Halloween night even more special by creating personalized treat bags for festive parties.

Fold each colored page in half and use tape to secure the two sides. Remember to leave the top edge open to form a bag shape.

Punch holes at the top and thread a ribbon or string through them to create handles. Hand out to your students or kiddos at home ready for trick-or-treating Halloween fun!

14. Puppet Play

Print out your favorite drawings of monsters and color them in. Cut around the creatures and glue a popsicle stick to each character.

Engage in imaginative play for your little ones and have a monstrously good time!

15. Ghastly Goodie Boxes

Make Halloween even sweeter by creating your own treat boxes.

Print out larger designs like pumpkins or haunted houses. Fold the sides of the designs inward to create a box shape and secure the edges with tape or glue. 

Fill these fun treat boxes with candies or small surprises.

16. Frightening Fans

Stay cool while wearing your Halloween costume with petrifying paper fans.

Print out an illustration with intricate designs and color it in.

Accordion-fold the finished page to create a paper fan. Secure the bottom ends with tape or glue. 

Hang them up as decorations or use them to cool off during Halloween parties or parades.

17. Festive Fun Memory Game

Exercise your memory with this festive memory game. Print out two copies of each of your favorite images at 25% scale.

Fill the pages with bright colors and trim them to create pairs.

Shuffle the cards and lay them face down on a table or the floor. Play with friends or family and see who can find the most pairs.
