Haunted Dolls House with Peg Dolls

This printable haunted dolls house is part of our series of dolls house templates you can use with cardboard, plywood or any suitable board material. Halloween makes it perfect timing, but a haunted house is such a great classic theme for all-year-round imaginative play.

The house comes with spooky peg doll residents to make and move around: a peg ghost who hovers near the door peeking out to boo visitors, a talking skull and Ratty who live in the basement, a black cat who watches from the upstairs window, and a peg skeleton who sleeps in the wardrobe on the top floor.

How to make the haunted dolls house

Print the template and transfer to cardboard or plywood. Score and fold along the marked lines. The house is designed to stand on its own and the rooms are accessible from the front for play.

How to make the spooky peg dolls

Print the accessories sheet, cut out the costumes and wrap around plain wooden peg dolls. Each character has its own outfit — ghost, skeleton, black cat and more. Wooden peg dolls are widely available from craft shops.
