We’re a little crazy about Halloween crafts for kids, it’s the perfect time of year to bring out all the ghouls! What better time of year to make a bunch of witches, creepy pumpkins, skeletons, vampires and other monsters?

This printable Halloween puppet set comes in both a black and white version for kids to color as they please, and a pre-colored puppet version in case kids just want to play.

There are 4 interesting types of monsters including:

The evil witch, looking very calm with crooked teeth.

And a little talking skeleton.

A blood-sucking vampire, just waiting to take a bite of something juicy.

A pumpkin lantern ready to tell horror stories.

You can download all of these Halloween printables at the end of this tutorial.

Or follow the step-by-step instructions below

Print out our templates. You can print them on regular printer paper although thicker paper is recommended.

You can print on regular white paper or use colored paper if you prefer – for example orange paper for this printable Halloween Jack-o-Lantern puppet.

If you have printed out black and white templates to color, now is the best time to do so.

We love coloring with markers!

After coloring the puppet, it’s almost time to cut it out.

First, cut to separate it from the strips, don’t cut too close.

You will see signs next to the puppet, telling you where to rush.

Fold along those dotted lines.

To make the folds really crisp, run your fingers or a craft stick over the folds.

Now cut out the puppet.

And ribbons and teeth if you’re doing a vampire.

If you create a vampire, you will have to put teeth in its mouth.

Fold along the dotted line on the tooth and apply glue to the area that says glue on it.

Glue inside the mouth.

Cut the belt.

Glue them (curved shapes) onto the puppet.

Done!

Your Halloween puppet is ready to play.
