Halloween Jack-o'-Lantern Coloring Page

About this page

A big, round jack-o'-lantern fills the lower two thirds of the page, with a small smiling bat hovering above it. The pumpkin has a thick curved stem with a curly vine tendril on the right, wide vertical ribs, triangle eyes, a small triangle nose and a wide grin with square teeth. The bat has pointed ears, round eyes, two tiny fangs and short feet, and its wings spread out to both sides with curved ribs. The two subjects are stacked in the middle with open white space around them and no background scenery. The pumpkin's rib sections are large and simple, so they are quick to fill, and the bat's wing panels add a few smaller shapes. This is an easy Halloween page that suits kids.
