Create a Halloween Folding Surprise: Drawing a Vampire Coffin

Let’s have some fun by making a cool Halloween surprise! We are going to draw a vampire jumping out of a coffin. This is a great activity for anyone who loves Halloween. So, grab your art supplies, and let’s get started!

Materials Needed

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • A piece of paper
  • A marker
  • Coloring materials (like crayons, colored pencils, or markers)

Step 1: Prepare Your Paper

Let’s get your paper ready:

  1. Fold the Paper: Fold your paper in half by bringing the top edge down to the bottom edge. Make sure the corners match and press down to make a crease.
  2. Create a Guide Fold: Open the paper and fold the top flap back up to the top edge. Press it down, then flip the paper over and do it again. This will help with our drawing.

Step 2: Draw the Coffin

Now, let’s draw the coffin:

  1. Outline the Coffin: Use your marker to draw a big box starting from the fold. Draw two lines going down and connect them at the bottom with a line.
  2. Add the Lid: Draw a line across the top of the coffin, with half above the fold and half below. This will look like a lid when you open the paper.

Step 3: Add Details to the Coffin

Time to make the coffin spooky:

  1. Decorate the Lid: Draw a small skull on the lid using a backward ‘C’ shape for the head and bumpy lines for teeth. Add two ovals for eyes.
  2. Draw Cobwebs: Draw lines from the bottom of the coffin to make cobwebs. Use curves and short lines to make them look real.

Step 4: Create the Vampire

Let’s draw the vampire:

  1. Draw the Vampire’s Head: In the middle of the coffin, draw a big oval for the head. Add eyes by drawing circles with smaller circles inside for pupils.
  2. Add the Mouth and Fangs: Draw a flat circle for the mouth and ‘V’ shapes for fangs on each side.
  3. Include Ears and Hair: Draw diagonal lines for ears and curves for hair, connecting them to the head.

Step 5: Draw the Vampire’s Hands and Cloak

Now for the hands and cloak:

  1. Hands: Draw rainbow shapes for the hands, making them look like they are reaching out. Use ‘U’ shapes for fingers and connect them to the hands.
  2. Cloak: Draw diagonal lines from the hands to the head, then make a cloak shape like bat wings coming from the sides of the coffin.

Step 6: Add Ghosts

Let’s add some friendly ghosts:

  1. Draw Ghosts: Draw a ghost shape coming out of the vampire’s head, making sure it doesn’t go past the top fold. Add eyes and a mouth.
  2. More Ghosts: Draw more ghosts, letting them overlap for a fun look. You can even have a ghost peeking over the coffin!

Step 7: Final Touches

Finish up your drawing:

  1. Complete the Coffin: Add lines to the coffin to match the lid’s height and make the sides thicker.
  2. Color Your Drawing: Once you’re happy with your drawing, color it in! Use your favorite colors to make your Halloween scene come alive.

  • Activity 2: Explore Shapes and Symmetry

    Look around your home or classroom and find objects that have similar shapes to the coffin or the vampire’s cloak. Can you find rectangles, triangles, or ovals? Draw these objects and see if you can fold your paper to create a surprise drawing, just like the vampire coffin. Discuss with a friend how symmetry is used in your drawings.

  • Activity 3: Halloween Hunt

    Go on a Halloween hunt! Look for Halloween decorations or costumes in your neighborhood or at home. Can you find any that have vampires, coffins, or ghosts? Take notes or draw pictures of what you find. Think about how these decorations are similar or different from the one you created. Share your findings with your class or family.
