Free Halloween Printable Activities- Color by Code and Word Search

It’s three weeks until Halloween! I finally put out my Halloween decor. Now all I need to do for the big day is get lots and LOTS of candy for the many children that will be trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.

In the meantime, I know parents and teachers are looking for fun Halloween activities to help reinforce learning. I’ve created a couple of color by sight word activities and a color by number activity for Halloween. If you are looking for something a little more challenging, I’ve also created a Halloween word search. These Halloween printables can be used for stations, morning warm ups, or as an activity while students are checking out books in the library.

Download the Halloween word search here.

Downloadable PDF file inclueds activity page and answer sheet for Halloween word search.

Looking for a fun and creative way for kids to practice their numbers and sight words? Choose from a cute candy corn, a friendly Frankenstein, or a smiling Jack-o’-Lantern for this color by code activity. The candy corn features a color by number format while Frankenstein and the Jack-o’-Lantern are color by sight word.

All printables are free to download and use for personal an classroom use. Be sure to check out my other free Halloween printables below as well as my free clip art library. I add a new graphic each month to the Clip Art Cauldron and graphics are free to use for personal and classroom use.

Free Printable Holiday Coloring Pages for Kids

December is here and that means it is time for the holiday crafts for kids! I have created free printable holiday coloring pages for kids, including pages for my books Angry Arnold and Capybara and Axolotl: Best Frenemies Forever.

Angry Arnold and Capybara and Axolotl Book Holiday Coloring Pages

I have created these fun images of Arnold opening a Christmas gift and Capybara and Axolotl enjoying hot cocoa together in front of a Christmas tree to accompany my books. Both books are available in paperback and ebook formats on Amazon.com, and they are currently available on Kindle Unlimited to read for free.

Winter Holiday Coloring Pages

I’ve created a gingerbread man and cat, a snowman in a snow globe, and a penguin in a scarf as additional coloring pages— all free to download. I’ll be adding more free downloads over time, so be sure to check the Parents and Teachers section of this website regularly.

Thanks for stopping by and happy coloring!
