STEP TWO - Colour the printable Halloween cards

Take your time and colour your chosen Halloween cards. We used markers to create these Halloween cards, but you could also use crayons or watercolour paint as an alternative.

You will need to colour the pumpkin shape as well as the Halloween character for each card. Leave the background white.

STEP THREE - Cut out your Halloween cards

Now it is time to cut out your Halloween cards. Cut around the solid black line in the shape of a rectangle. 

STEP FOUR - Fold your Halloween cards

The final step is the most fun! You are now going to fold your Halloween cards so that you can only see the pumpkin. Using the dotted lines on the printable as a guide fold along the dashed line at the top of the card and align it with the dashed line at the bottom of the card. 

When you open the card you will reveal your spooky Halloween character! 

This is such a  fun Halloween craft for kids. Once you have completed your Halloween card craft it is time to decide who to gift it to. You could add a little Halloween message too if you wish.
