How to Make this Grim Reaper Halloween Craft

This craft is super easy to make! I would recommend it for kids in kindergarten or first grade. If they are younger, you may not want to include the writing assignment and instead have them draw a picture. Follow the steps below!

Print and download the Grim Reaper template. Obviously, you will print everything except the face in black. Cut out your template

Glue the black outline of the Reaper onto a purple background paper. Then, glue the white face onto the outline.

Next, place the black eyes and nose onto the white face. When finished, attach the written piece about the Grim Reaper.
