16 Ghost Templates and Templates
Friendly ghosts are an easy Halloween shape: a rounded top, a wavy bottom edge and two simple eyes. That makes these templates great for coloring and cutting. Classic and tall ghosts sit alongside ghosts with personality, including one shouting boo with arms up, one in a bow tie, one with a crown and star wand, one hugging a heart, one carrying a lantern, one holding a pumpkin candy bucket and one bundled in a scarf and beanie. There are stacked pairs and a stacked trio of ghosts, plus a plain outline and a simple version for the youngest kids. Ghosts do not have to be white. Pastel ghosts, glow-in-the-dark green ghosts or rainbow ghosts all make fun window decorations. Cut out several and tape them on string for a spooky garland, or glue a ghost to a paper lunch bag to make a trick-or-treat bag. A cotton ball glued onto the page gives a soft, puffy look. The outline and simple pages suit toddlers, while the stacked trio is good cutting practice.
Faces full of personality
Cute Ghost and Ghost Fun both come with big eyes, curved brows and happy open mouths, so kids can jump straight into coloring. The bow tie on Ghost Fun invites a pop of red or purple, and the lumpy edges on Cute Ghost look great in soft lavender or mint. Both pages are easy, with thick lines and one large shape, which makes them a calm pick for young kids who find spooky themes a little scary.
Blank shapes for Halloween crafts
Ghost Outline and Ghost Simple work best as cutout templates. Kids can draw their own faces, then cut along the wavy hem to make door hangers, window clings or a paper garland. For a party activity, trace several ghosts onto white card, punch a hole at the top of each, and string them across a doorway. Glow in the dark paint on the finished cutouts adds a fun nighttime surprise.
