This free offer is Kids Halloween Deck of Playing Cards which offers a full deck of playing cards plus an extra sheet with two wild cards and two blank cards. These cards last longer if you laminate them so we are offering a “How to Laminate Printable Deck of Playing Cards” as well as an optional outside for these cards; Halloween Craft Paper.

Card Printing Tips:

While the playing cards can be printed on standard computer paper, Moms Break  has these printing tips to make your use of our playing cards more enjoyable!

Tip 1: Print on heavyweight Card Stock to make card stronger. Card stock is available in office supply stores like Office Depot or Staples, and can usually be found in discount stores like Wal-Mart and Target. You can use any color you wish, but Moms Break suggests that you use soft colors like beige or light colors.

Tip 2: Print a design on the blank side of the cards! After printing the cards but before cutting the cards apart, re-insert the printed cards back into the printer’s paper tray/slot so that it will print on the blank side of the paper. Print one of our craft paper designs on the blank side, suggestion: Halloween Craft Paper. Repeat for each sheet of playing cards. Note: Each printer is different, so you may need to experiment with a single sheet of playing cards to determine how to put the paper back into the printer so that it will print on the blank side.

Tip 3: If you need two decks of cards, then print one deck with one design, and the other deck with another design. This will help you to sort the decks after you finish playing the two-deck game.

Tip 4: If you don’t have much time, then the sheet of cards can be cut in half, and then cut in half again rather than trimming the cards along the heavy black outline. The cards will have square edges, instead of rounded edges. For smaller children, the bigger cards may be easier to handle.

Optional: There is a video tutor below the example images on how to laminate these these cards for longer use or sticky fingers from Halloween candy. Special Thanks to Jan K. the Proofer for submitting this tutor using Moms Break free printables.
