If cute witches aren’t quite spooky enough for your Halloween crafting, these Spooky Witch Finger Puppets for Kids – Printable Halloween Paper Craft are ready to stir up some trouble! With crooked noses, wicked expressions, wild hair, and classic witchy details, these creepy little characters are perfect for kids who like their Halloween crafts with a little more fright. Color, cut, assemble, and then slip them onto your fingers to bring your spooky witches to life!
These printable witch finger puppets are more than just a coloring activity. Once the crafting is finished, kids have their very own set of Halloween puppets ready for storytelling and pretend play. Make the witches cackle, cast ridiculous spells, fly imaginary broomsticks through the night sky, or gather around a bubbling cauldron to create a mysterious potion. Kids can let their imaginations decide what happens next.
One of the best parts of this Halloween paper craft for kids is getting to color each witch. Classic green skin is always fun, but there are no rules here! Give your witches purple hair, orange hats, striped clothing, warts, rosy cheeks, or completely unexpected colors. Encourage kids to experiment and give every witch her own wonderfully wicked personality.
After coloring, kids can practice their cutting and fine motor skills as they carefully cut out each puppet and prepare the finger openings. Once assembled, simply slip your fingers into place and watch the characters come alive. Crafts that turn into toys are always a favorite because the creative fun continues long after the scissors and glue have been put away.
These spooky witch puppets are perfect for Halloween parties, classroom activities, homeschool art projects, library programs, playdates, or a creative afternoon at home. They’re easy to print and require only a few basic craft supplies, making them a fun option when you need an engaging Halloween activity for kids without a complicated setup.
Prefer your witches a little more sweet than spooky? Be sure to check out our Cute Witch Finger Puppets too! Those friendly witches are full of adorable Halloween charm, while this spooky set is perfect for kids who prefer crooked smiles and wicked expressions. Make both sets and you’ll have an entire cast of witches ready for one unforgettable Halloween puppet show.

Supplies Needed for Witch Finger Puppets
Printable Spooky Witch Finger Puppets Template (printable)
Printable Spooky Witch Finger Puppets
Step 1: Print the Spooky Witch Finger Puppets Template
Download and print the Witch Finger Puppets template on an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of white cardstock. Cardstock works best because it makes the puppet sturdy enough for fingers to slid in through the holes and not tear.
Step 2: Color the Spooky Witches
Use crayons, markers, or colored pencils to bring your spooky witch finger puppets to life! Choose classic Halloween colors like black, purple, orange, and green, or give the witches eerie gray skin, glowing eyes, dark clothing, and wild, tangled hair. Add creepy details such as warts, scars, striped stockings, spiderweb patterns, or mysterious symbols. Each witch can have her own unique colors, wicked style, and spooky personality—there is no wrong way to decorate these frightfully fun Halloween puppets!
Step 3: Cut Out Each Puppet
Carefully cut out the puppets along the outside lines. If your child is too young to handle scissors, be sure to assist them with this step.
Cutting out the finger holes can be a little tricky, but here’s an easy way to do it. Start by using a hole punch to make a small opening inside each finger hole circle.
Once you have that starter hole, carefully slide the tip of your scissors into it and slowly cut along the outline, gradually enlarging the opening until you’ve cut out the full circle. This method makes it much easier—and safer—than trying to poke your scissors straight through the paper.
Your Spooky Witch Finger Puppets are finished and ready to cast some wicked Halloween magic! Slip each creepy witch onto your fingers and let the spooky fun begin. Make them soar through the night on imaginary broomsticks, brew bubbling potions, cast mysterious spells, or star in a creepy Halloween puppet show for family and friends. Give each witch her own wicked name, eerie voice, and mischievous personality to create all kinds of frightfully fun adventures. The crafting may be complete, but the imaginative play is just getting started. Have a spellbinding time with your new spooky witch finger puppets!
