    Halloween is one of our favorite times of the year and there is so much fun to be had whether it's our bat paper puppet, witch paper doll, our You've Been Booed neighbors gift, or our free printable Halloween Bingo.

    Happy Halloween

    Whether it's the added spider webs or bats flying around, there is something so fun and creepy about haunted houses for Halloween.

    Growing up, we had this Victorian-style home that sat by at the top of the hill away from the rest of the neighborhood. We never saw anyone come or go from the house and so there was no doubt in our minds it was a haunted house.

    That house, which I would love to own as an adult, was the inspiration behind this fun easy paper craft. Don't miss our other Easy Halloween Crafts like friendly ghosts crafts, black cats coloring pages, and footprint Frankenstein Craft.

    Spooky Haunted House Craft Supplies

    • Free Printable Haunted House (end of this post)
    • Markers or Crayons
    • Scissors
    • Tape or Glue stick
    • Foam Halloween Stickers (optional)

    How to Make This Cute Haunted House Craft

    printable craft for spooky season

    First start by downloading and printing the haunted house on construction paper or cardstock.

    Next, let your child's creativity run wild and have them color their house.

    coloring in the haunted house

    My kids love using both markers and crayons. It gives all the Halloween characters some dimension.

    This is also where you can encourage their creativity. Add stickers or draw additional Halloween characters. There is never too much creativity when it comes to this Halloween craft.

    supplies needed to cut out the craft

    Next, it's time to cut out the walls and the roof.

    Cutting with Scissors

    There are so many benefits to children learning to use scissors and do the cutting out themselves. Scissors help children with their focus, build their hand muscles, and increase their visual and fine motor skills.

    If your child is really small, then you can of course help them cut it out, but I recommend getting them a kid's pair of scissors and letting them cut it out themselves.

    cut roof of haunted house

    There is one little piece that we recommend cutting off the roof pieces to make it so the roof folds properly.

    Fold your roof along the dotted lines and then tape or glue it shut.

    Tape the walls together into a tube shape (like a toilet paper roll) and then place the roof on top!

    Adding foam stickers or Halloween stickers are also fun ideas but optional. You can also add a tea light under the haunted to see the house silhouettes, but the best idea is to use a battery-operated tea light so as not to have an open flame.

    We hope your kids and you enjoy this haunted house craft as much as we do!

    Happy Halloween!
