Lift the Flap Haunted House

By Tina Cloer October 2, 2016
This spooky haunted house is not only easy to make, but it also includes a few interactive surprises when it’s on display! 

Materials needed:
  • 1 purple sheet of construction paper
  • 1 black sheet of construction paper
  • Halloween stickers
  • Scissors (Parents if you have a craft knife, cutting the windows out with it might be easier)
  • Glue stick
  • White crayon
Steps to create:
  1. Cut a house shape out of the black construction paper. 
  2. Using the white crayon, draw windows and a door on the house.
  3. Carefully cut out three sides of the windows and door.
  4. Using the glue stick, glue the house to the purple sheet of paper, with the bottom of the house lining up with the bottom of the paper. Be sure not to glue the windows or door!
  5. Open up the door and windows and put Halloween stickers behind each one. Close the flaps to hide the sticker behind.
  6. Add more to the scene. Maybe a yellow moon in the sky or bats flying around the rooftop?
Now invite your guests to a tour of your haunted creation.
