Friendly Ghosts Around a Haunted Halloween Castle

Four smiling ghosts drift around a tall stone castle in a scene that's spooky but sweet. The towers have pointed roofs with tiny flags, there are round windows, and the big arched wooden door has a ring knocker. A curving cobblestone path climbs the steps from two brick gateposts topped with lanterns. Behind the towers glows a huge cratered moon, with bats and puffy clouds across the sky. Bare, twisty trees frame the sides, and bushes, rocky hills and a little wooden fence run along the bottom. Older kids will enjoy the brick and shingle textures, while the large ghosts and moon are easy for younger children. Deep purple and blue for the towers and sky, then a glowing yellow for the moon and lanterns, is one way to go. This free printable works well for parties and classroom activities. Looking for more?
