Free Halloween Printables (and some other Halloween Inspiration)….

Halloween is just around the corner and with half term coming up, I thought it was a good time to reshare these three free Halloween puzzle printables that I made a few years ago.

They’re perfect for keeping the kids occupied for a little while, especially on those cold, wet October days when you’re stuck indoors and looking for something to do that doesn’t involve spending money or putting them in front of a screen.

I originally made these when my two were younger and loved doing little activities like this. They’re both grown up now and definitely far too cool for Halloween puzzles, but I thought I’d give them another share because I know how handy it can be to have a few easy activities ready for those inevitable ‘Mam, I’m bored’ moments. 😂

Halloween Cryptogram Puzzle

This first one is probably my favourite of the three because I’ve always loved puzzles where you have to crack a code to work out the answer. Even when I was little, I used to love doing things like this and the more complicated they were, the better!

Trick or Treat Maze Puzzle

I’ll admit that I’ve never really been a fan of maze puzzles myself, but my two used to love them when they were younger so I couldn’t really put together a little collection of Halloween activities without including one, could I?

Halloween Word Search

And finally, we’ve got a good old-fashioned Halloween word search because you really can’t go wrong with a word search, can you? I think this one’s probably the easiest of the three, depending on how old your little ones are.

All three puzzles are completely free to print and you just need to click on each image to open the full-sized printable version, which you can then save or print off.

And if three puzzles aren’t going to be enough to get you through a rainy afternoon, I’ve got a few more Halloween ideas that might help too. There are some homemade Halloween puzzles that are great for younger children, some fun Halloween treats you could make together and even a list of Halloween movies for kids if you fancy getting cosy on the sofa for a Halloween film afternoon.

Hopefully, between these and the other ideas, you’ll have a few things to keep the kids entertained over half term without having to spend a fortune. And if the weather does turn out to be lovely, you can always save the puzzles for another day!
