🎃 Halloween Maze Coloring Activity
Can you find your way through the maze?
This Halloween maze combines a classic path-finding puzzle with cute seasonal pictures around the page. Kids can work their way from the beginning to the end, then use crayons, colored pencils, or markers to add color to the Halloween characters and decorations.
Encourage children to trace possible paths lightly with a pencil before committing to a route. If they reach a dead end, they can simply back up and try another direction.
⬇️ Download & play: Save or print the Halloween maze above, find the correct path, and color the spooky pictures when you’re finished.

🧛 Spooky Halloween Character Crossword
Pumpkins, witches, zombies, vampires, and other Halloween favorites come together in this illustrated crossword activity.
Kids can use the pictures and clues on the page to work out the Halloween words and fill them into the crossword grid. The surrounding black-and-white characters can also be colored once the puzzle is complete.
If a word seems difficult, skip it temporarily and solve some of the easier clues first. The letters from completed answers may help reveal the harder ones.
⬇️ Download & solve: Save or print the Halloween crossword above, complete the spooky words, and add your own colors to the characters around the puzzle.
👀 Halloween I Spy Coloring Activity
Look carefully—Halloween surprises are hiding everywhere!
This black-and-white Halloween I Spy game challenges kids to search through a busy collection of seasonal pictures and find the objects requested on the worksheet.
Instead of rushing, search one type of object at a time. Pointing to or lightly marking each object as it is counted can make it easier to avoid counting the same picture twice.
Once the search is finished, the page becomes a coloring activity too.
⬇️ Download & play: Save or print the Halloween I Spy activity above, complete the search challenge, and then color the Halloween pictures.

🎃 Pumpkin-Shaped Halloween Crossword
This clever Halloween activity turns an ordinary crossword into a giant pumpkin-shaped puzzle.
Kids can solve the Halloween words inside the pumpkin while enjoying all the little seasonal illustrations decorating the page.
Try filling in the easiest answers first. Each completed word provides extra letters that can make the remaining clues easier to solve.
After completing the crossword, color the pumpkin orange—or forget traditional colors completely and create a purple, green, rainbow, or glow-in-the-dark-inspired Halloween pumpkin.
⬇️ Download & solve: Save or print the pumpkin crossword above, complete the Halloween puzzle, and finish by coloring your pumpkin creation.
🖍️ Turn the Puzzles Into Coloring Pages
One of the nice things about these black-and-white Halloween activity sheets is that the fun does not have to end once the puzzle is solved.

Try classic Halloween colors such as:
- Pumpkin orange
- Witchy purple
- Slime green
- Midnight black
- Ghostly gray
