    • Share

    This free printable cut and paste puzzle for Halloween is low-prep fine motor fun for kids 3-5! Your child and/or students can work on their fine motor skills and problem solving abilities as they recreate the cute Halloween themed picture. Don't worry - it's cute, not spooky.

    A preview of two printable Halloween cut and paste puzzles. Both puzzle show the same image of a cute black cat and a jack o lantern. One puzzle has a hint image and the other has a blank grid to paste the pieces onto. The pages are shown with a red marker, a pair of scissors, and a roll of tape.

    How to use cut & paste puzzle printables

    Cut and paste puzzles can be surprisingly difficult for young children. Children usually start solving puzzles by look at the puzzle piece shape, not the picture.

    That strategy won't work for this cut and paste puzzle because each piece is a square! The square pieces mean your child or students have to look at the picture on the piece and match it up with the other pieces. That's why one page has a hint image for children who are just learning how to solve puzzles.

    There are two versions of this cute Halloween puzzle: one with a light background image in the solution area and one without a picture.

    Children who have mastered simple puzzles with the reference image can move on to the plain white background version for an extra challenge.

    Older children can start with the hint-free version of the puzzle.

    Here are ideas for different ways to use this printable puzzle:

    Let your child use a blunt-tipped pair of small scissors so s/he can practice their cutting. We own multiple pairs of these small Fiskars scissors.

    Your child can paste the image in place, or not glue it down so they can solve the puzzle multiple times.

    Young kids love gluing. My daughter enjoys using a small pot with a paintbrush and white glue for her gluing activities. For less mess, use a non-toxic glue stick. You can also use poster putty or even a piece of play dough.
