Halloween is just around the corner, and what better way to get into the spooky spirit than with some Printable Paper Dolls for Halloween? This delightful craft project lets you create your very own paper doll with a variety of different outfits and a Halloween Cat as a pet. Best of all, this paper doll set is currently available as a free download, so don't miss out! It's part of our collection of Printable Halloween Crafts.
A couple of years ago, my kids had a blast coloring in paper dolls, dressing them up, and spending hours of fun with all the different outfits and dolls. That's why, when my intern last summer told me she loved to draw and design, we decided to create our own paper dolls. Since Halloween is her favorite season, we naturally started with Halloween Paper Dolls (stay tuned for our Christmas Paper Dolls too!).
We have a cute paper doll template that comes with a range of Halloween outfits and adorable seasonal accessories to match.
3D Princess Paper Dolls
By the way, I also have a set of free printable paper dolls for princess or Disney fans. They are a different type of paper doll, as you can't dress them up, but they can be transformed into adorable little paper Disney ornaments! There are seven designs to choose from, plus two more in black & white that you can color in and customize yourself. So much fun!
You can also check out the Christmas Paper Doll, which features outfits and accessories that can be mixed and matched with the Halloween doll. This way, you get two dolls with a wide variety of lovely outfits!
But let's get back to today's Halloween Paper Dolls.
How to Make These Paper Dolls
To make these paper dolls, you'll need a few supplies:
- Printer paper (though light cardstock would make them more durable and can even be combined with magnet dots)
- Printer
- Coloring pens
- Scissors
- A little glue, if you're attaching accessories like a headband
This paper doll is available in the Shill Art – Express Your Creativity store for a small contribution. By downloading the paper doll bundle all at once and at a discount, you'll be supporting our work, and we truly appreciate it!
Currently, we only have these Halloween paper dolls (along with the princess paper dolls mentioned earlier). However, we'll soon be releasing Winter paper dolls, so be sure to keep an eye out for those! They're sure to provide wonderful activities for kids.
How to Make a Paper Dress-Up Doll for Halloween
Now, imagine this: you're all ready for some zen time. You clear the table, find your favorite pens, and grab a nice warm spice pumpkin latte (if you're a grown-up) or hot chocolate (if you're a child). You're ready to print your Halloween Paper Dolls and get started on this cute free printable.
One of the things I love most about paper doll coloring pages is that you can customize them to suit your personality. Don't forget to experiment with different skin tones too! It's a great opportunity for some mindfulness coloring and to improve fine motor skills.
Now, let's have some fun with all the details and accessories on this free printable. In our example, we used coloring markers, but you could also try crayons or watercolor paints. The possibilities are endless!
What's really amazing is how differently each person colored in their dolls. You'd think we had a whole set of different free printables, but all you need is this one!
Once you're done coloring, it's time to carefully cut out your dolls. Aren't they cute? There are hours of fun to be had with these fabulous paper dolls.
I love how the doll looks so different depending on who colored her in. To test this, I asked my friend's 7-year-old, 12-year-old, and even my 42-year-old friend to give it a go. The results were adorable!
Just look at the paper witch doll, complete with her purple cat. So much fun!
Want to take the fun to another level? Add magnet dots to the back of these paper dolls (and print them on cardstock). Then, use a magnetic surface for hours of doll play!
