Halloween Lantern Craft Printable

What's Included

22 printable pages: 10 colour lantern templates + 10 black-and-white colouring (coloring) lantern templates + 2 how-to instruction sheets (1 colour, 1 colouring), as 2 PDFs (A4 + US Letter). Each PDF has everything, so you do not need to choose between the coloured and the colouring version.

The Halloween Lanterns

Each lantern has 4 panels with arched windows. Ten different designs: purple moon and pumpkins, black witch night, green little monsters, orange pumpkin patch, pastel pink cute Halloween, blue witch and owl, red dragon and candy, teal ghosts and cauldron, golden harvest, and a haunted castle. The same ten come as colouring pages too.

How It Works

Colouring version: colour the pictures first, then cut, fold and glue. A step-by-step how-to sheet is included in colour and in black-and-white.

1. Print at 100% (actual size) on white paper or light cardstock.
2. Cut on the solid lines and cut out the 4 windows.
3. Fold on the dashed lines.
4. Glue the flaps and the handle. Your lantern is ready!
5. Want it to glow? Put a small battery LED tea light inside (never a real candle).

Size

Each lantern is about 5.6 x 5.6 cm (2.2 x 2.2 in) wide and about 21.8 cm (8.6 in) tall with the handle. Prints landscape on A4 or US Letter paper with no scaling.

Good To Know

Ages 4 and up with a grown-up helping with the scissors.
