I spy with my little eye… a pumpkin, a ghost and a whole lot of bats. These Halloween I Spy worksheets turn a page full of spooky pictures into a search-and-count game, and kids don’t realize how much careful looking they’re doing.
The set has six free printable pages for ages 3 to 7. Each one is a PDF in US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4, so it prints on whichever paper you use.

What’s on Each Page
- Find and count: a scattered page of pumpkins, ghosts, bats, witch hats, spiders and candy. Count each kind and write the number in the box.
- Find and circle: a small key shows how to mark each picture. Circle the pumpkins, put an X on the bats and draw a box around the ghosts.
- Count and graph: count the pictures, then color one square on the bar graph for each one. It’s a first taste of graphing.
- I spy in a row: look at the first picture and circle every match in the row. This is a good one for kids who are just learning to scan from left to right.
- Which box has more: count the pictures in two boxes and circle the one with more.
- I spy clues: read or listen to a clue like “something with eight legs”, find the picture in the big box and count how many there are.
Why I Spy Pages Are Worth Printing
Searching a busy page trains kids to look carefully and keep their attention on one thing, which is useful long before they can read. Counting scattered objects is also harder than counting a neat row. Kids have to keep track of what they’ve already counted, and that’s a real counting skill.
The clue page adds a little language, too. Talking about legs, wings and pointy hats gives kids words to describe what they see.
Tips for Better I Spy Time
- Print at 100% (Actual size), not “Fit to page”, so the pictures stay a good size.
- Show kids how to put a small dot or check mark on each picture as they count it. That’s the trick for not counting the same ghost twice.
- Try one crayon color per picture type. The page gets colorful and it’s easy to see what’s been counted.
- Ask them to count out loud and point. Pointing helps their eyes and their counting stay together.
- Don’t rush. This isn’t a race. If they miss one, ask “do you want to look one more time?”
- Slip a page into a clear sleeve and use a dry-erase marker to use it again.
- Black and white is all you need, and the pages use very little ink.
