Ah, I love September! It starts to feel like fall is around the corner and I love the crisper mornings and the more predictable school schedule.

And, of course, Halloween not too far away!

One of my favorite parts of the season is pulling out my beloved Halloween book collection and having a reading Halloween calendar to go along with those books makes it even more delightful!

This is the fifth year I’ve released one and I am obsessed with the design that Alexa from Pippi Post came up with. After the massive popularity of last year’s Christmas reading calendar with a holiday scene, I loved the idea of having a Halloween scene and she truly knocked it out of the park.

I love the many fun details in this year’s Halloween printable calendar (I just kept discovering one delightful thing after another!) and I hope you love it just as much!

HALLOWEEN PRINTABLE CALENDAR

Let me tell you a little bit about this Halloween calendar:

• It’s absolutely free! You can download as many copies as you’d like for your personal use (pop your email address in at the top or bottom of this post and it’ll come right to your inbox). You’re also welcome to print out copies of this countdown till Halloween for your neighbors, your classroom or your library – as long as you’re not selling it, we love to see it get used!
• You can print it whatever size you’d like! I have a soft spot in my heart for the 36×48 engineering print which costs about $9 to print (instructions for printing engineer prints here).  But it’s also terrific at a 24×36 size and if you want something a bit smaller, I love an 18×24 because it fits beautifully on the back of a door. You can even print it on a regular sheet of paper with your home printer!
• It’s the best of all Halloween coloring pages! Grab crayons or markers or colored pencils and go to town – there are so many delightful details and it’s so much fun to color. You can color it all at once at the beginning of the month or do a Halloween countdown and color a bit every day as you read along!
• There is a reading activity every day from October 1 – October 30! Obviously the highlight of the advent countdown calendar for Halloween is reading daily with your children or students. At the bottom of the Halloween calendar there is a suggested activity for each day – you can do them in any order you’d like and if you need some book ideas, here is a huge list of my favorite Halloween picture books.
• The numbers 1-31 are hidden around the scene. Find a number each day or spot them all at once!

I hope you love using this as much as we loved creating it – just pop in your email address below and a printable copy will come straight to your inbox!

P.S. There are four previous Halloween calendars still available for free too – this one by Rad & Happy, this one from Pippi Post and this one by Lydia Jean, and last year’s by Spaghetti Games!
