My Top 5 Free Halloween Printables in the Library
Halloween isn't far so I thought I'd curate my favourite free Halloween printables from my own printables library, just for you. Who doesn't love a free printable? Instantly download and print, great for last-minute!
Warning: Long-winded Halloween nostalgia coming up!
{We're all busy so feel free to keep scrolling if you're not in a nostalgic mood!}
My favourite time of year begins with Halloween when our Australian spring is well underway. I live next door to a park and have a bushland trail behind my house which truly makes this time amazing. Everyone is coming back out of their cold winter hibernation. All of the dog lover regulars are back, the children are playing at the playground and riding their bikes. Not to mention the sound of the birds high in the trees to remind me they're close by.
Everyone is coming back and it is kicked off with Halloween! Dressed up and excited for trick or treating, the kids in the neighbourhood are laughing and having fun. The little ones are so thankful for your candy contribution. Parents at the door or the end of the driveway reminding them to say thank you. At every single house! As a parent who still needs to do this, it can get a bit monotonous.
Before long there will be all of the school Christmas activities, pool parties, and Christmas itself. Long holidays with warm nights and new beginnings with the New Year. Just the thought of Halloween approaching triggers all of these wonderful things (should I put the joy of Black Friday sales in here too?!). This is why I love it so much.
Alight, I just had to get that out of the way, lets get into what you came here for!
#1: Porch printable Halloween sign for trick or treaters
This sign is new to my library, I love its practicality. When I head out to take my kids trick or treating, a little sign like this with the bowl of candy is a great idea. Okay, so there's always one or two rule breakers that won't pay attention. But a gentle reminder to the kids to only take one piece of candy will hopefully keep your bowl full a little longer (and avoid disappointment).
Features include a common size, 8″ x 10″. You're likely to have a frame to suit or you can also scale the sign smaller without losing quality. You can do this in your printer settings. Otherwise, of course, you can skip the frame completely and just hang or tape the paper.
The design is minimal so that you don't waste too much ink. It also looks good printed with just black ink.

#2 Free printable Halloween bingo game
Ready to have some fun?! This free Halloween printable bingo game is great for Birthday party games, Halloween dinners and events, classroom activities and more.
Within this 8 page PDF, you will find 10 unique playing cards (that means up to 10 people can play at a time). As well as calling cards, instructions, and tokens (if you need them). All in a fun and colorful Kawaii cartoon style design.
The playing cards are 5″ x 7″ and print two per page. I've had to combine both landscape and portrait pages into the one PDF so when printing, be sure to print them separately. Some printers may have trouble printing the whole document at once and switching between page orientations.

#3 Set of 3 Halloween printable activity worksheets for kids
Keep the kids busy with these fun free Halloween printable activities. You get extra credit for not just providing Halloween fun but also educational fun! I would recommend these for children around the ages of 4-7 however the colouring aspect also makes it fun for any kids who just love to colour.
These worksheets are perfect for a family gathering and keeping the kids entertained. The I Spy game worksheet alone is a great party activity or good to use as a placemat at Halloween dinner. Easy and cost-effective to print in black ink. Then the kids can colour each of the worksheets.
Features of these three Halloween printable activity worksheets include pencil control, Halloween themed word match and Halloween I Spy search and find. The designs include some spooky cute characters and elements such as pumpkins, ghosts, bats, cauldrons, witch's hats and more.

#4 Colourful printable cupcake toppers and wrappers
Recognize these cute characters? Number 4 on my list of favourite free Halloween printables are these cupcake toppers and wrappers.
Great for last minute, cut and then tape the topper to a tooth pic. You can use a 2″ round paper punch if you have one. Ideally, print cupcake toppers to a slightly heavier paper/card however the wrappers are best on high-quality paper. Not card or anything too thick. Something a little thicker than copy paper is best however the thicker the paper, the less flexible it will be and therefore the harder it will be to wrap around your cupcakes.

#5 Set of 3 Rose gold glitter printable Halloween wall art
This set of 3 wall art was my first ever Halloween free printable. And I'm still kind of in love with it. Okay, I'm absolutely in love with it. Usually, when I look at designs this old there are a bunch of design faux pas that scream at me. But not so much with these ones. There are one, maybe two things I would do differently now but they're not that big.
The other printables listed in this post have a practical element to them. These are great if you're just looking for some cute Halloween decor. As with the Trick or Treat sign, they are all 8″ x 10″ so you may have frames around the house that you can swap out over the Halloween period. You can of course use your printer settings to scale these smaller.
The designs are simple in black and orange colours. My favourite thing about this wall art (of course), are those cute little rose gold glitter ghosts. I just can't resist a little sparkle!
Oh, and if you like the little rose gold pumpkin Halloween glass display in the picture, you'll find the complete tutorial and video for that in my blog post Make Your Own Classy Halloween Table Decoration.

Are free Halloween printables not quite cutting it?
I also sell a heap of printable Halloween games and party decor. If you're after something more you can always check those out.
“But Lauren, why would I want to pay for printables when you've just provided me with free ones?” It's a great question. For many of you, the free printables listed here will work just fine for what you're after. However, you may run into some frustrations when cruising the web for free printables. Here are a couple of great reasons buying any of my printable activities and party decor may work for you:
- Being able to coordinate many items for a special Halloween Birthday or celebration.
- Many items are customisable so you can include your own details or create your own special message.
- Wider variety of sizes and formats to suit your needs.
- Can be more cost-effective than buying physical products and items in stores.
They're only a few reasons, you can see for yourself by clicking on the images to view the printables I have for sale. This is just a snippet of the Halloween party and activity printables I have available, you'll find all of them in my store's Halloween department.
