What’s Included

This halloween activities printable pack comes with:

• 22 portrait-oriented pages, ready to print at home
• Full-page single ghost templates for big classroom crafts
• Small ghost template printable pages with 2×2 and stacked grids
• Ghost and blob outline variations, so no two pages feel repetitive
• Clean monochrome line art for easy coloring or tracing
• Thin rounded page border on every sheet for a polished, cut-friendly edge

Features & Benefits

The best part? This is a true cut out template — no fussing with awkward hand-drawn shapes or squinting at a tiny screen while you cut. Just print and go.

I love that it works for more than one craft. Kids can use it as pumpkin carving stencils‘ cousin — a stencil for paper, felt, or foam instead of a pumpkin. It’s genuinely one of the more flexible halloween paper crafts I’ve put together.

The blob-shaped ghosts are perfect for younger crafters who aren’t ready for precise scissor work yet. That makes this one of the better easy halloween crafts for preschool hands and early elementary classrooms alike.

And because it’s a free printable ghost template printable, you can print as many copies as your class (or your kid’s entire friend group) needs.

Teachers, this doubles as a quiet-time activity, too. Set it out with crayons during indoor recess and watch the room go silent. It. Works. Every. Time.

Turn It Into a Stencil

The full-page ghosts aren’t just for cutting and coloring. Print one, cut around the outline, and you’ve got a ready-made stencil.

Trace it onto black cardstock for a window silhouette, onto felt for a no-sew garland, or onto foam for a door decoration that survives more than one season.

It works a lot like our pumpkin template. If you’ve got a laminator, run the stencil through first. You’ll get years out of one sheet.

Disguise a Ghost

This one’s become a classroom favorite. Print one full-page ghost per kid, then let them “disguise” it as something else entirely:

• a ghost pirate
• a ghost superhero
• a ghost dressed as a pumpkin (very meta)

Hand out construction paper scraps, googly eyes, yarn, and markers, and let them go. Fifteen minutes, zero prep beyond hitting print, and every kid walks away with something different taped to the wall. Line the finished ghosts up under a Halloween banner and your bulletin board is done for the month.

🦃 Pro Tip: If you love this activity idea, you’ll also love our Disguise a Turkey worksheet.
