Those Halloween characters have gotten themselves into quite the alphabet mess! These Halloween letter mazes have kids searching through a jumble of letters to find their way from start to finish. They’re a fun little challenge for 4-6 year olds who are learning to recognize uppercase and lowercase letters, and the cute Halloween characters make the whole thing a lot more interesting than another page of letter drills!
The best part is that kids get to play detective with their letters. They’ll have to look closely to spot the right ones, which isn’t always easy when there are so many other letters trying to trick them! For more activities that make early learning a little less boring, check out our collection of preschool worksheets.
Printable Spooky Alphabet Puzzles
This set has four Halloween favorites: a mummy, spider, ghost, and bat. Each one has its own letter to find, and kids get to color or dot their way through the maze. I especially like that they have to recognize both the big and small versions of each letter. Just because an uppercase M looks familiar doesn’t mean that little lowercase m won’t make them stop and think!
And while they’re busy hunting for letters, they’re getting some good practice with visual discrimination and concentration, too. They’ll need to slow down and check each square instead of just coloring every letter that looks close enough. No sneaking through the maze by coloring random boxes!
These pages are easy to pull out for preschool centers, Halloween morning work, or a little extra letter practice at home. Grab some crayons, markers, or dot markers and let the kids get searching. Just remind them that the goal is to make it all the way to the finish, not color the entire alphabet!
Halloween Books for Children
Room On The Broom: This has to be one of our favorite Halloween books of all time! The story follows a witch and her cat as they happen upon some animals who help the witch. There’s danger, mystery, and friendship in this adorable children’s story.
The Good, The Bad, And The Spooky: Halloween is the Bad Seed’s favorite holiday, but when he can’t come up with the perfect costume, he decides trick-or-treating should be postponed for everyone! Kids will love following his funny quest to find a show-stopping costume before the big night. With plenty of humor and Halloween fun, this is a great seasonal read for fans of The Bad Seed and the Food Group series.
Ten Timid Ghosts: This is a fun countdown book about a witch who moves into a haunted house where 10 ghosts already live. The witch scares the ghosts out one by one until they devise a scheme to get her out of their house. This Halloween children’s book is good for kids who love rhyming stories!
Halloween Paper Crafts
Witch Ghost Craft – This little ghost has decided that being spooky isn’t enough, so he’s dressing up as a witch for Halloween! I love the big witch hat and the bubbling cauldron he’s holding. Kids can use the printable template to put him together, and I think he’d look especially cute hanging up with a bunch of other Halloween crafts.
Haunted House Paper Bag Craft – A haunted house made from a lunch bag? Yep, and it turns out pretty cute! Kids get to decorate their house with ghosts, bats, and jack-o’-lanterns, so there’s plenty going on in this little Halloween scene. And since the paper bag can stand on its own, you don’t even have to find a spot on the wall to display it.
Candy Corn Torn Paper Craft – Sometimes it’s nice to make something that doesn’t require kids to cut out a bunch of tiny pieces. That’s what I like about this candy corn project! Kids tear up orange, yellow, and white paper and glue the pieces into place. The torn edges give it a fun, textured look, and it’s a good option for kids who are still learning how to use scissors.
Frankenstein Headband Craft – I think the best part of making headbands is getting to wear them afterward! This Frankenstein version has his familiar green face, flat black hair, and little bolts sticking out of the sides. Can you imagine a classroom full of kids wearing these? They’d make some pretty cute Halloween pictures!
Early Literacy & Motor Practice for October
Learning to control a pencil takes practice, and these bat tracing worksheets give kids a few different ways to work on it. They’ll trace lines, finish a bat picture, and practice writing the letter B. I like that there’s some variety here, so they’re not stuck tracing the same line over and over. And the bats make it feel a little more like a Halloween activity than regular handwriting practice.
There’s something about connect the dots pages that makes kids want to finish them just to see the picture! These ghost connect the dots worksheets have three different ghosts for kids to complete by following the numbers. One even has a witch hat, which I think is especially cute. Once they’ve connected all the dots, they can color their ghost and see the finished picture.
These mummy worksheets are a good choice when you want a little more than one type of activity. Kids can practice the letter M, trace, and label the mummy’s body parts. There’s also a letter maze, which would go perfectly with the Halloween mazes above. I like having different activities with the same character because kids can work on several skills without switching themes.
I think kids would have a pretty good time coming up with costumes for these disguise a ghost free printables. The idea is to disguise a ghost so nobody recognizes him, and kids get to decide what he should become. There’s even a wanted poster where they can describe their disguised ghost. I’d be interested to see what a whole classroom comes up with because I doubt any two ghosts would end up looking the same!
