Free Halloween Crafts and Coloring Pages

There's no doubt that kids love Halloween. The anticipation is half the fun, so doing easy Halloween crafts is a great way to get them in the mood for dressing up and knocking on doors for candy. We still do that in our neighborhood, but I know there are a lot of places that don't. So these crafts can also be a great addition to indoor parties or other activities that are done instead of traditional trick-or-treating.

The first craft is a collection of masks and a pair of fangs that can be cut out and glued to the front of pumpkins. Don't want to carve a pumpkin or create a fire hazard with candles? These faces take the place of carving and are just as fun. Additionally, there are two 20-piece Halloween jigsaw puzzles you can make yourself. Just print them at whatever size you want and cut them apart on the puzzle-piece-shaped lines. I suggest you use the thickest card stock your printer will allow so the puzzle pieces will be easy to move around. There are also unlined versions of the puzzles that can be used as colorful Halloween decorations. 

Lastly, there are some Halloween coloring pages you can print yourself. You can also make Halloween cards out of several of them, because they already have a "Happy Halloween" greeting on them.
