Friendly Halloween Monster Coloring Page

About this page

A furry little monster stands facing the viewer with two horns, two big round eyes and a wide grin with a couple of small teeth. Both horns have stripes that wrap around them, and tufts of fur stick up on top of the head and along the body edge. Little curved fur marks sit on its round belly. The monster's arms hang down at its sides, ending in three-fingered hands, and its feet are rounded with three toes each. The figure stands in the center with white space on every side, so the shaggy outline is the main detail. The big body shape and simple parts make this an easy page for kids who like friendly monsters. The shaggy edge is easy to follow with a crayon held loosely.
