Halloween Wreath for Kids

This simple Halloween craft is a fun way to sneak in some creative learning at home! As kids color and arrange the printable pieces around the paper plate wreath, they’re naturally exploring composition (where to place each piece), pattern (repeating pumpkins, ghosts, and candy), and color (choosing bold Halloween shades or cozy fall tones). It’s a gentle way to build early art skills while spending intentional, creative time together — no fancy supplies or art degrees required!

The best part about this activity is you only need a few basic supplies! Just print your template, grab your coloring tools, a paintbrush, and some paint, and you’re all set to create a festive Halloween wreath full of color.

How To Make a Printable Halloween Wreath

Step 1: Print & Color

Start by printing the Halloween wreath template. Kids can color the pumpkins, ghosts, candy corn, haunted house, bats, spiders, and candy however they’d like. This is a great chance to use bright, bold Halloween colors or experiment with non traditional colors like pink, purples, and blues.

Step 2: Cut it Out

Once everything is colored, cut out each shape carefully.

Step 3: Make your Wreath Base

Take a paper plate and cut out the center so you’re left with just the ring. This will be your wreath base. Paint your paper plate wreath black and let dry. You can also choose to paint it in other Halloween colors.

Step 4: Assemble & Glue

Arrange your Halloween pieces around the paper plate ring and glue them in place. Kids can layer shapes, add symmetry, or mix it up however they like!
