Select craft papers for the Halloween characters from the provided template. The template includes- ghost, cat, bat, witch, Dracula and Frankenstein patterns. Let’s start with the easy patterns. Trace the ghost, bat and cat patterns on the selected craft papers and cut them out nicely.

Attach googly eyes to the ghost pattern and draw the mouth using a black sharpie. Attach the body cutout of the bat on the middle of the wing pattern; attach googly eyes and fangs to complete it. Attach the belly and nose cutouts on the cat pattern; and attach googly eyes to complete the cat.

Now, to make the puppets attach the paper ghost, bat and cat on popsicle sticks.

Let’s make a difficult pattern. Print out the patterns for the witch and trace them on colored craft papers. I’m using black paper for the dress and hat, green for the head and hands, orange for the hair and purple for the stripe of the hat. Cut out the traced patterns.

Attach the strip on the hat, head on the bottom side (straight sidof the hair and the hands on both sides of the dress pattern.

Now, attach the head on the top side of the dress and then attach the hat on the top side of the head to complete the paper witch pattern.

Attach googly eyes and use black sharpie to draw the nose and mouth of the witch.

Finally, attach the paper witch with a popsicle stick to complete the witch puppet.

Trace and cut out the house pattern on a black cardstock paper.

Similarly, trace, cut out and make the other characters.

Enjoy!
