Free Printable Halloween Cards to Color

Every October, we pull out these free printable Halloween cards to color as a calm, creative project that balances all the sugar-rush excitement.

I like using them during homeschool art time or quiet classroom centers because they blend coloring, handwriting, and thoughtful giving.

Kids can choose from friendly mummies, smiling witches, or funny skeletons, then personalize their card with bright colors and a short message inside.

It’s an easy, low-prep way to practice fine-motor skills and kindness at the same time, plus the finished cards look great tucked into treat bags or sent home to family.

Four printable Halloween coloring cards for kids, featuring fun characters like mummies, witches, skeletons, and vampires with the phrases “Happy Halloween” and “Stay Spooky.”

Halloween Coloring Cards

These printable coloring cards give kids a hands-on way to share a little spooky cheer.

They’re easy to print, fun to personalize, and double as sweet keepsakes once colored. With friendly witches, funny skeletons, and even a disco-style zombie, each page brings Halloween art into a simple craft you can actually use.

How to Use

I like printing them on cardstock so the colors pop and the cards hold up in backpacks or treat bags. Regular paper works too if you’re printing for a whole class.

Each of the eight designs folds in half, leaving space inside for a short note or drawing. The backs include phrases like “Stay Spooky” and “Boo to You,” making them perfect for classroom exchanges or Halloween party favors.

A set of black-and-white Halloween-themed card designs, shown against an orange background. Each card features festive phrases in stylized lettering, including “Happy Halloween” with pumpkins and bats, “Witch Please” with a witch hat, “Stay Spooky” with dripping letters, “Boo to You” with ghosts and bats, and several variations of “Happy Halloween” accented with spiders, webs, and bats. These are likely the backs of printable Halloween coloring cards.

Once printed, just fold and color! These cards fit perfectly into A9 envelopes if you’d like to mail them or tuck them into treat bags. They’re ideal for Halloween parties, classroom crafts, or sending spooky greetings to grandparents and friends.

Each card is blank inside so you can write your own spooky message.

The right card is partially colored, depicting a zombie-like character with wild yellow hair, green tattered clothes, purple swirly eyes, and a red drink. Five colorful markers are arranged below the cards.

Halloween Card Designs

The set includes eight playful, kid-friendly cards, each with bold outlines made for easy coloring.

You’ll find a Frankenstein-themed party scene, a groovy zombie mid-dance, and a cheerful Dracula under the “Stay Spooky” banner.

The right card says “Happy Halloween” and shows a smiling witch holding a green drink, dressed in a purple and black outfit with green accents. Purple, green, and black markers are placed below the cards.

There’s a smiling witch wishing Happy Halloween, two versions of a lively costume-party lineup, a “Boo You!” card with a wizard and two witches, and a final design featuring a friendly mummy and skeleton.

If your kids enjoy matching crafts, pair these with our Frankenstein handprint art, witch’s broom handprint craft, or mummy handprint art for a full Halloween activity day.

Markers in purple, green, and orange are placed below the cards.

What to Write in a Halloween Card

If your kids are sending Halloween cards to friends or family, these short and silly lines make it easy to get started. I like using them as quick handwriting prompts, kids copy one inside their Halloween card to color, then decorate around the message.

Wishing you lots of fun and lots of yummy treats!
Fangs for being my friend
You’re my BFF (Best FIEND Forever)
Have a spook-tacular Halloween!
Happy Halloween, Ghoul Friend!
Getting to call you family is a real treat!
In the treat basket of life, you’re the full-size candy bar
Keep calm, trick or treat, and carry on
Wishing you a night full of frights and a bag full of delights
Witching you a very haunted Halloween

These lighthearted notes pair perfectly with hand-colored cards and make an easy classroom or homeschool writing activity. You can also add our free Halloween thank you cards for a sweet way to show a little spooky gratitude after the treats.
