DIY Origami Vampire Lips

How amazingly cool are these origami vampire lips?! They’re spooky, stylish, and the perfect little craft to whip up just in time for Halloween. Whether you’re planning a party, decorating a classroom, or just looking for a fun hands-on activity with a touch of creepy flair, these vampire lips are sure to impress.

The best part? They’re surprisingly easy to make. Casey from Vitamini Handmade has created a fantastic step-by-step tutorial, complete with clear photos for every stage of the folding process. So even if you’re new to origami, you’ll be able to follow along and create these awesome lips in no time.

And it doesn’t stop there—Casey also shows you how to take things up a notch by adding tiny fangs and just the right amount of blood for that true vampire vibe. Use red paper for classic Dracula lips or mix it up with glittery or patterned paper for a glam-goth look. You could even make mini versions as Halloween party favors or string them together for a fang-tastic garland.

This is a last-minute Halloween idea that looks anything but rushed—clever, creepy, and totally unique.

Cat Themed Learning Activities

I recently shared a bunch of dog-themed learning activities in honor of National Pet Month. Now it’s time for the cats (which are actually my favorite, shoutout to Baron and Haru!).

Homemade Heather has a great set of cat activity printable sheets including the life cycle of a cat, parts of a cat, a page kids can fill out about their cat and a little reading comprehension with a cat theme.

World of Printables has a super cute cat coloring page that asks you to color cats of different shapes in different colors and then count them. Like an I Spy, but with cats!

Speaking of shapes, give kids practice tracing basic shapes and writing the words for them (square, circle, oval, triangle, diamond, etc. there are 12 shapes in all) with these cat-themed printables from Tot Schooling. These would be good to laminate so you can use over and over while kids are learning about shapes.

Royal Baloo has a great printable cat pack that includes activities for toddlers up to third grade, so this is perfect if you’re homeschooling kids of different ages. There’s literacy and math activities in this pack, including shape tracing and matching for the little ones, beginning sounds and skip counting for pre-k kiddos and addition, multiplication, writing pages and more for older kids.

Fluffy Tots has a cute printable emergent reader on a cat theme, and Sunny Day Family has a super cute cat matching memory game you can print. Build a cat with the printable from PJs and Paint, or cut and fold a stretching cat with this activity from Krokotak.

1 Plus 1 Plus 1 Equals 1 has a cat unit study and printables for kids who are learning cursive writing. There are also three part cards about cats, a printable on scientific classification of cats and more.

Your Therapy Source shared this cute motor skill idea of using pipe cleaners as cat whiskers, which makes a fun quiet time activity or something kids can use in the car.

Take your love of cats on the go with this printable cat activity placemat from The Art Kit Blog. It includes a word search, maze, word scramble and some cats to color, tic tac toe boards and more.

Older kids can learn how to build Lego cats with these instructions from Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls.
