SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR HALLOWEEN SHADOW PUPPETS PRINTABLES

This page is sized for standard letter printer paper dimensions – 8.5 x 11 inches.

Instructions to create a Halloween shadow puppet show

  1. Print out the Halloween shadow puppet set.
  2. With the help of an adult, cut around each puppet.
  3. Laminate your puppets if possible; if not, you can paste them onto a cardbox and cut around them again. This step is optional but we highly recommend it so your puppets will last longer.
  4. Glue each puppet to a lolly stick.

Now just point the lamp towards a wall and hold each puppet between the lamp and the wall to have your own shadow puppet theater. Grab some popcorn for the entire family, take turns to tell a story, and enjoy!
