The Halloween Craft Album
Eight cut, color & play crafts
Eight Halloween crafts to color, cut, build — and then play with. Your child colors first (everything is more fun in color), a grown-up does the scissor work, and you build it together at the kitchen table. The pumpkin gets a new face at breakfast — star eyes today, zigzag grin tomorrow — the bat’s fan-folded wings really flap, and the crown goes on for the big night. One craft per afternoon is plenty: there are eight, one page each.
- 8 crafts · 10 pages — a cover, a one-page how-to, and one page per craft
- A jack-o’-lantern with a face bank, a flappy bat, a ghost garland, a crown you can wear
- US Letter and A4 in the same download
- Ages 3-5 · crayons, a glue stick, and a grown-up with scissors
What an afternoon looks like
Color first. A grown-up cuts along the solid lines. Fold on the dashed ones — little hands can. Glue where the box says GLUE. Then there’s something in your child’s hands that flaps, or hangs, or fits on a head.
What’s inside: the eight crafts
One page each. Every page starts with a three- or four-step HOW TO, and every craft ends with a way to play with what you made.
One little legend, used on every craft page
Page 2 is the how-to: what you need, the three lines, and the list of crafts. Read it once and every page after it explains itself.
The three lines
- SOLID line — a grown-up cuts here
- DASHED line — fold here (little hands can!)
- GLUEGLUE box — where the glue stick goes
That’s the whole system. Your child can see at a glance which parts are theirs — the folding, the gluing, all the coloring — and which line waits for a grown-up. The safety note on the page says it plainly: scissors and string are grown-up jobs. Everything else belongs to little hands.
Real pages from the real files
This is exactly what you print — straight out of the download. The templates are clean outlines made to be colored in.
What you need
Nothing you have to go and buy. The album was drawn around what a kitchen drawer already holds.
You never print all ten at once. Each craft is its own page — print this afternoon’s. Every page comes in US Letter and A4, in the same download: pick your size, ignore the other. And if the garland needs to be longer, print that page again — that’s the magic of print-at-home.
The download link arrives by email the moment you check out, and it stays yours. Nothing ships, nothing to cancel, no app to install.
Questions parents ask
What age is this for?
Ages 3-5. The coloring, the folding on the dashed lines, the gluing and all the playing belong to little hands; the cutting along the solid lines is a grown-up’s job. For a 3-year-old that’s the coloring, the folding and the playing; an older child may want to hold the scissors with a grown-up guiding — that’s how the how-to page puts it (“or guides little scissors”).
Do I have to do the cutting?
Yes — every cut line in the album is solid, and solid means a grown-up. That’s the whole point of the legend: your child can see which parts are theirs (dashed folds, GLUE boxes, every bit of coloring) and which line waits for you. Scissors and string are grown-up jobs; everything else is little-hands work.
Do I need to print all ten pages?
No. Each craft is one page, so you print the one you’re doing today. The cover and the how-to page are there if you want them. Want a longer ghost garland? Print that page again.
I’m outside the US. Will it fit my paper?
Yes. The download holds two PDFs — one in US Letter, one in A4 — with the same ten pages in each. Pick your size and ignore the other.
How much ink will this cost me?
The craft templates are clean outlines made to be colored in — the color is your child’s job, not your printer’s.
Is anything shipped to me?
No — it’s a digital download. The link arrives by email right after checkout. You print at home and can reprint any page as many times as you like.
What if I have a question that isn’t here?

If something isn’t right, we fix it
Digital files can’t be returned, so all sales are final — but we’d rather fix a problem than keep your money. If a download won’t open, a page is missing or corrupted, or a file doesn’t match what’s described here, email hello@printandplaypreschool.com within 30 days and we’ll fix it, send replacement files, or refund you where that’s the right answer. A real person reads every message. Read the full policy.
