Literacy Printables for Halloween

Reading aloud is a fantastic way to foster literacy skills in children. But in addition to great books, literacy printables can make learning the alphabet, phonics, and handwriting a breeze. We've prepared some adorable printables for Halloween that will help you practice these essential skills with your kids.

Our “Name Craft for Halloween” printable is a wonderful activity that helps kids identify and practice the first letter of their name. This starter activity is perfect for young children who are just beginning to spell their names or practice the alphabet. You can print capital letters for each child and have them glue black “bats” made of dyed bowtie pasta onto their letter. It's a bat-tastic Halloween Name Craft that will make learning fun!

And that's not all! We also have “Halloween Alphabet Printables” that are designed to teach your preschoolers and kindergartners the letters of the alphabet. These colorful printables feature each letter inside a candy jar, making them engaging and interactive. Laminate the pages for durability or let kids trace the letters with markers or their fingers. For an extra fine motor skill challenge, try using candy corn and Jumbo Tweezers from Learning Resources. Kids will have a blast manipulating the candy and learning their letters at the same time.

But wait, there's more! We can't forget about our “Frankenstein Halloween Craftivity” printable. This activity allows kids to practice writing skills, build fine motor skills, and unleash their creativity.

Building numeracy skills is essential for young learners, and Halloween provides a great opportunity to make math fun! We have a variety of printables for Halloween that will help your preschool and kindergarten students develop their numeracy abilities.

Simply download the printable and gather some bones, eyeball candy, and spiders. Then, let the learning fun begin as your little ones place the correct number of items in the witches brew.

Another exciting activity is our “Frankenstein Shape Match.” This printable focuses on making shape identification fun and engaging for preschoolers and kindergartners. It features Frankenstein-themed two-dimensional shapes like pentagons, ovals, stars, squares, and more. Kids can color and identify the shapes on the page while matching them up with the corresponding Frankenstein shape cards. To take it a step further, turn this printable into a sensory experience by using a plastic bin filled with black beans and hiding the shapes inside. It's a hands-on way to make shape learning come alive!

For a sweet treat that combines learning and graphing, try our “Halloween Candy Graphing” activity.
