Instructions

  • Print the template and gather the materials for this fun activity.
  • Begin by folding the Halloween character pieces along the dashed lines, then cut around each folded piece so the character and window flap stay connected.
  • Color in the ghost, werewolf, and cat with markers or crayons.
  • Grab the house piece and glue it onto the main roof piece, lining up the top edges.
  • Glue the left side roof and right side roof pieces onto the flat sections on either side of the roof.
  • Take the round window and glue it to the top center of the house, just below the main roof.
  • Glue the door near the bottom left of the house.
  • Use a bold & bright marker to draw a small rectangular step below the door.
  • Add a few horizontal lines inside the rectangle to create individual steps.
  • Color the front flap of each folded window piece with a colored marker.
  • Use a ruler and marker to draw the window lines across each flap.
  • Glue the folded windows onto the haunted house, placing them wherever desired and leaving the flaps free to open.
  • Finally, glue the pumpkin to the bottom right of the house and use a bold & bright marker to draw the stem on the top.
