Questions parents ask
Is it free?
Yes, everything here is free with no account.
What is Kubrio Halloween?
Kubrio Halloween is a free place where kids 6 to 13 make their own Halloween: a monster, a pumpkin face, a costume, a party, and a story. Each one can be made on screen, by hand, or in a short video course, and a new Halloween song plays every day. Everything works in the browser, prints at home, and needs no account.
What can my kid do here?
Make five things for Halloween night: a monster, a pumpkin face, a costume, a party, and a story. Each one can be made on screen, by hand with paper and pens, or in a short video course. Along the way, sing a new Halloween song every day, in karaoke too, and watch a 4-minute film on where Halloween comes from.
What age is this for?
Kids 6 to 13. Younger kids draw, color, and paint; older ones take on detailed coloring pages, stencils, and costumes they build themselves.
What Halloween activities can kids do at home?
Drawing a monster, coloring a printable page, designing a pumpkin face on paper, and building a costume from a cardboard box all work with things you already have. Pick one that ends with something your kid can show. On Kubrio, your kid can build a monster in Monster Maker and print it as a mask.
What are easy Halloween crafts for kids?
Painted pumpkins, paper bag masks, and coloring pages are the easiest: no knife and no sewing, and a 6-year-old can finish any of them in under an hour. On Kubrio, free drawing videos show your kid how to draw a ghost, a bat, or a pumpkin step by step.
How do I keep Halloween crafts safe for younger kids?
Let younger kids paint pumpkins instead of carving them, keep knives and hot glue with a grown-up, and use battery lights instead of candles. Your kid can still design every part on paper first. On Kubrio, Monster Maker needs no scissors to start: your kid builds a monster on screen and prints it as a mask or a coloring page.
Can I share these with my kid's class?
Yes. Share the page or print the coloring pages and stencils for a classroom or a party. On Kubrio, Monster Maker prints a coloring page of your kid's own monster for classmates to color.
