Spooky Season Art Prompts

Give young artists a fun, low-pressure place to create all spooky season long! These Spooky Season Art Prompts are packed with open-ended drawing, collage, printmaking, and mixed-media ideas that invite kids to imagine, experiment, and make their own creative choices.

From turning scribbles into monsters and drawing a Halloween world map to making candy-wrapper collages and spooky self-portraits, each prompt offers an easy starting point without prescribing one “right” result. Use them for a cozy afternoon of art-making, as a classroom choice activity, a sketchbook prompt, or anytime kids need a little creative inspiration.

Your download includes 10 printable art prompts, plus blank prompt cards for kids to dream up and record their own spooky-season ideas. Together, they’re designed to help young artists build confidence, follow their curiosity, and create something spooky, silly, mysterious, funny, weird, or beautiful.
