Fun Things To Do With Your Scary Coloring Pages
Looking for ways to take your creepy creations to the next level? Try these fun and easy craft ideas using your scary coloring pages. They’re perfect for Halloween parties, classroom activities, or rainy day fun at home!
Haunted House Wall Collage
Turn your scary coloring sheets into a haunted house display! After coloring the pages, cut out the characters and tape or glue them onto a large poster board shaped like a haunted house. Add cotton ball spider webs, googly eyes, and construction paper bats to make your haunted house come alive with creepiness.
Hang your collage in your bedroom, hallway, or on a classroom bulletin board. It’s a perfect way to show off everyone’s spooky art in one big haunted masterpiece!
Creepy Candle Holders
Wrap your colored scary pages around glass jars to make creepy candle holders! Use LED tea lights for safety. Trim the coloring sheet to the height of the jar and tape it in place. When the light shines through, it gives your monsters and ghosts a glowing, spooky effect.
This works great for Halloween night, movie parties, or just as fun decorations for your room.
DIY Scary Masks
Take any monster, witch, ghost, or creepy face from your coloring page and turn it into a mask! Color the face, cut it out, and glue it onto a piece of cardboard or cardstock for strength. Punch holes on each side and tie a string or attach elastic so it can be worn.
These make great costume pieces for pretend play or classroom skits.
Spooky Story Starter Book
Choose 3–5 of your colored pages and turn them into a mini horror storybook. Staple the pages together, leaving space on each one to write. Then, make up a spooky story based on the characters or scenes you’ve colored!
This project combines creativity and storytelling—and makes a great Halloween-themed keepsake or classroom assignment.
Trick-or-Treat Bags
Color scary pages and glue them onto paper lunch bags to create custom trick-or-treat bags! You can also use markers, stickers, or glitter glue to decorate the bags even more. Fold the top, punch holes, and add a string or ribbon for handles.
This is a fun craft to do before Halloween, and kids will love carrying their own spooky art as they collect candy.
Glow-in-the-Dark Decorations
Print your scary coloring sheets on white cardstock and color them using glow-in-the-dark crayons or markers. Tape them to the walls or hang them from the ceiling in a dark room. Turn off the lights and watch the scary characters glow!
This is perfect for Halloween parties or late-night fun with friends and family.
Scary Puzzle Game
Turn your coloring page into a puzzle! After coloring, glue the page to a piece of cardboard. Then, cut it into puzzle pieces—big ones for younger kids or smaller ones for older kids and adults. Mix up the pieces and try to put your spooky puzzle back together!
You can even trade puzzles with friends or make a classroom puzzle station with different scary pages.
Spooky Mobile
Make a hanging mobile using scary images! Cut out characters from multiple coloring sheets after coloring them. Use string and a wire hanger or a craft hoop to hang them at different lengths. Add some ghost cut-outs, bats, or even spiderwebs made from yarn.
This craft is awesome for bedrooms, classrooms, or Halloween party decorations!
Shadow Puppets
Use your scary coloring pages to make shadow puppets. Color and cut out your characters, then glue them onto sticks or straws. Shine a flashlight on a blank wall in a dark room and hold up the puppets to create shadows. You can act out a spooky story using your own haunted cast.
This is a fun, no-screen activity that sparks imagination and creativity!
Monster Bookmarks
Turn your favorite scary character into a bookmark! Cut out a small rectangle and draw just the monster’s face or head at the top. Glue it onto a piece of cardstock and cut to shape. Add a ribbon or yarn tassel if you want!
This is a great way to keep your place in a Halloween storybook or any book you’re reading.
Scary Wreath for the Door
Use your colored scary pages to create a spooky door wreath. Cut out the characters and glue them in a circle on cardboard. Add plastic spiders, glittery webs, and Halloween ribbon. Hang it on your front door to welcome your trick-or-treaters or guests in spooky style.
DIY Halloween Card Set
Turn your coloring sheets into Halloween greeting cards! Fold a piece of colored construction paper in half, glue a small scary character or scene on the front, and write a spooky message inside. Give them out to friends, classmates, or neighbors.
This is a sweet (and spooky!) way to spread Halloween fun.
Scary Character Puppets
Pick your favorite character from your scary coloring pages and turn them into stick puppets. Cut them out and tape them to craft sticks or straws. Make several and use a cardboard box to create a mini puppet stage. Put on a creepy puppet show for friends or family!
This can even be used as a fun presentation project in class.
Window Clings
Print your scary coloring sheets on transparency paper and color them with markers. Stick them to your windows for a spooky view from inside and out! These are easy to remove and reuse each Halloween season.
Kids love decorating their windows with their own scary art.
Halloween Countdown Calendar
Color 31 different scary pages—one for each day of October! Clip them on a string with clothespins or tape them on the wall in order. Remove one each day as you count down to Halloween, or flip one over each morning for a spooky surprise.
It’s a fun way to build excitement all month long.
