It’s a few days before October and we are getting VERY excited for all the Halloween FUN! Last year I introduced Flat Skelly Skeleton in an effort to bring Halloween fun to everyone’s mailboxes. No, not an email mailbox….the snail mail mailbox. You know, the big thing outside that usually only produces bills and advertisements?!?! Let’s spuce the inside of that box up with some Halloween fun because Flat Skelly Skeleton is BACK!
What is so wonderful about this project is if a grandparent or other family member lives far away from the littles in their family, they can still be a part of the Halloween fun! You send the Flat Skelly…they send you pictures all month long! A link is included above for the original post so you can read more about it, however, I am also including a direct link below as well to get the necessary printouts for this festive project. I guarantee you that it will bring smiles to the children and you ALL…MONTH….LONG!
Flat Skelly Poem ~
*→Make the introduction to Flat Skelly with this easy to use printout! You can print it out on your paper type and color of choice.
(pic included for reference…use the green link above for printable version)
*→You will also need this skeleton cutout for Flat Skelly!

As stated earlier, there is a link above that describes Flat Skelly in detail, but here are the basics.
How Flat Skelly Works ~
- Print a copy of the poem. This can be printed on any type and color of paper. If you are mailing, I suggest you print on regular copy weight of paper for less cost in mailing.
- Print the skeleton cutout page…you will want to be sure to include a printout of this for each family member receiving the package. I suggest you print this on card stock to make the skeleton more durable to last through the month.
- Include 8 brads for each skeleton printed. (Unless the family you are sending to is a crafty family and already has some of these in stock.
(brad’s are two pronged paper fasteners). Here is a handy link if you need to order some brads ➡️➡️Brads for crafting. - Mail the complete package out to your loved ones! They will do the cutting and assembling once they receive their fun snail mail.
Now it is up to the grandchildren, nieces/nephews, etc. As they complete different Halloween crafts, make creepy foods or go to festive activities, they need to take Flat Skelly with them and photograph the memories and send the pics to you! Voila! You are not there, BUT it’s the next best thing!!!!
