The Haunted House Challenge! 🎃

October 2026 — Little Design Challenge #1

Can You Design the Scariest or Funniest Halloween House Ever?

Imagine a house with creaky doors, secret rooms, spooky towers, and windows that glow in the dark!

Maybe your house has friendly ghosts, silly monsters, or a giant slide that takes you straight into a pumpkin patch!

You're the architect! You decide!

Think Before You Draw!

PURPOSE — Why?
Is your house supposed to scare people or make them laugh?

PEOPLE — Who?
Who lives in your haunted house? Ghosts? Monsters? Witches? Maybe a family of friendly skeletons!

PLACE — Where?
Is your house in a dark forest, on top of a mountain, or floating in the sky?

IDEAS — What If?
What makes your house special? Secret doors? Moving staircases? A roof shaped like a giant pumpkin?

Now, Draw Your Haunted House!

Grab your crayons or colored pencils and create the most amazing Halloween house you can imagine.

There are no wrong ideas. Just have fun!

Three Ways to Join the Fun!

Color a Haunted House!

We've drawn a spooky house just for you! Grab your crayons or colored pencils and make it your own. Will it be scary, silly, or a little of both?

Design Your Own Haunted House! (Use button for a drawing sheet, coloring sheet, or create your own)

Want to create something completely different? Start with a blank sheet and draw your own Halloween masterpiece!

Choose one, two or all three! There are no wrong ideas. Just have fun!

Show Us Your Haunted House! 🎃

Did you make a scary haunted house? A funny one? Maybe a little of both?
