It is the third rainy afternoon this week, the kids are bouncing off the furniture, and Halloween is still weeks away. Free Halloween printables are an easy fix for days like that, and for class parties, porch candy bowls, and the cards you keep meaning to make. A printer, a box of crayons, and ten quiet minutes go a long way.
A quick note before the list: SuperPrintable is our sister site, and everything listed here is free to download. We opened every page, checked what is actually inside, and sorted the sets by how you will use them. You will find coloring for quiet time, worksheets for learning centers, party and porch helpers, and paper projects for cards and decor. A few no-print craft ideas are mixed in for when the printer runs out of ink.
Here are 25 free Halloween printables and crafts for kids, parties, and classrooms.
Coloring and Quiet Time
Pages for the after-school slump, a long car wait, or the half hour before trick-or-treating starts.
Halloween Coloring Pages: A big collection of more than 70 pages with witches, friendly ghosts, pumpkins, owls, bats, and mummies. The simple bold outlines suit preschoolers, while the detailed haunted scenes keep older kids busy on a rainy afternoon. Get The Printable

Painted Mini Pumpkins: Set out small pumpkins, washable paint, and cotton swabs for dots, stripes, or silly faces. Painting instead of carving keeps little hands away from knives, and the pumpkins last longer on the porch.
Halloween Quotes Coloring Pages: Each page pairs a short saying, such as Boo to You Too or Stay Spooky My Friend, with costumed kids, pumpkins, or a broom-riding skeleton. Kids who are starting to read enjoy coloring the words, and finished pages make easy door signs. Get The Printable
Haunted House Coloring Pages: More than 30 pages of haunted mansions, flying ghosts, and even a spooky express train, drawn scary-cute rather than frightening. Hang finished houses on a door or staple a stack together as a homemade coloring book. Get The Printable

Printing Tips
A few small choices make these last longer and print cleaner.
Use cardstock for signs, cards, and bookmarks so they stand up on a table and survive small hands.
Print coloring pages and worksheets in black and white to save ink, since most of them are line art anyway.
Laminate worksheets or slide them into sheet protectors, then hand out dry-erase markers so one copy lasts all month.
Print at 100% scale, or actual size, so cut lines and folding guides land where they should. Most of these PDFs are set up for A4, and you can choose fit to page when printing on US Letter.
Print a test page before running a whole class set, especially for the colorful card and sign designs.
