A FREE Halloween Countdown Calendar

Today, I want to jump up and down like a little kid because I have something incredibly exciting to share with you – the third annual Halloween countdown calendar! countdown to Halloween

Halloween is a special time filled with holiday cheer, low expectations, and most importantly, loads of fun. And what better way to celebrate than with a Halloween book collection and an accompanying reading Halloween countdown calendar? Trust me; it makes the experience even more delightful!

This year, I've collaborated with the talented Lydia Jean (check out her whole shop here) to bring you a perfectly spooky and delightful Halloween advent countdown calendar. And the best part? It's absolutely free! countdown to Halloween

The Halloween Countdown Calendar

Let me give you a glimpse of what this Halloween countdown calendar has in store for you:

It's absolutely free! You can download as many copies as you'd like for your personal use. Feel free to share it with your neighbors, classroom, or library, as long as you're not selling it. We love to see it being used!
Print it in any size you want! Whether you prefer a 36×48 engineering print, a 24×36 size, or a more compact 18×24 that fits beautifully on the back of a door, the choice is yours. You can even print it on a regular sheet of paper using your home printer.

The best Halloween coloring pages ever! Get your crayons, markers, or colored pencils ready because this calendar is filled with delightful details just waiting to be colored. Whether you choose to color it all at once or do a daily Halloween countdown and color a bit each day while you read along, it's an absolute blast.
A reading activity every day from October 1 – October 30. The highlight of this advent countdown calendar is the opportunity to read daily with your children or students. At the bottom of the calendar, you'll find a suggested activity for each day. You can choose to do them in any order you like, and if you need some book ideas, I've compiled a huge list of my favorite Halloween picture books.
Can you find all the hidden numbers? As an extra bonus, the numbers 1-31 are cleverly hidden within the calendar. Challenge yourself and see if you can find them all!
