Directions

Start by downloading the template and printing it out. Once the template is printed, gather the materials for this fun activity. Get those scissors ready, and let’s help the kids bring this vampire to life!

First, guide your child in drawing the vampire hair on top of the photo.

Next, help your child use a hole punch to punch out the circles around the movable parts.

Now, place the brad through the shoulder hole and then through the arm piece. Push both sides of the brad towards the middle of the body. Repeat on the other side.

Place the head on top of the body and glue it in place.

Finally, encourage your child to glue the red cape to the back of the head. Only glue the cape to the head so the arms and legs still move.
