Let’s Start Coloring!
Step 1. Color in the Haunted House Coloring Page
Use a favorite coloring medium to color in the template.
Kids can use a variety of coloring mediums such as crayons, markers, colored pencils, and watercolors to creatively fill in the template.
Arty Crafty Kids can experiment with eerie shades of midnight blues and pinks to create a spooky atmosphere.
Coloring the moon a glowing yellowy orange and the windows yellow for a dimly lit impression – bringing the haunted house to life.
Step 2: Cut out the Haunted House and 3D extra’s.
From the excess paper, cut out two short strips of paper and curl them into loops (securing the ends with glue).
Step 3: Fold the grassy tabs towards the haunted house backdrop.
Use the sold black line between the haunted house and grassy area for guidance.
Step 4: Apply a spread of glue one of the tab edges.
And then gently fold the tabs round to join.
This will instantly lift the haunted house, creating a 3D backdrop.
Step 5: Glue a loop to each ghost.
Step 6: Glue the ghost’s and pumpkin to the haunted house coloring page.
Using loops on the back for each ghost, make them seem like they’re hovering and soaring around the haunted house, creating a fabulous 3D effect that jumps off the page!
Place the pumpkin somewhere around the pavement.
The haunted house is complete – how will your Arty Crafty Kids color theirs?
