Halloween Crooked House Coloring Page

About this page

A tall, crooked little house stands in the center, its walls leaning in and out and covered with horizontal plank lines. A steep, curving shingled roof ends in a brick chimney at the right. The front has an arched wooden door with a round knob, a short set of steps, two arched windows with crossbars on each side and another arched window higher up. Two bare trees with twisting branches frame the house at the left and right, and three smiling bats flutter above it. The ground is only suggested by small mounds at the base. Many separate planks, shingles and window panes give a medium amount of detail for kids who like to color buildings. The leaning walls and uneven roofline make it fun to color slightly off-kilter, and the bare branches give a good excuse for dark, moody tones.
