About these halloween coloring pages

This is the full Halloween set, and it splits neatly by how much is drawn on each sheet. The simpler pictures show one or two classic symbols with thick lines and no background: a jack-o'-lantern under a small bat, a ghost hugging a pumpkin, a plain witch hat, a kitten sitting by a pumpkin, a baby bat with spread wings, a candy bucket, a smiling spider on its web, an owl in a floppy witch hat and a horned monster with a toothy grin. The scene pages add props, a night sky or a second character. A ghost carries a lantern under the moon, a skeleton in a bow tie dances between pumpkins, a crooked house leans between bare trees, a cauldron bubbles beside a big spoon, a mummy child heads out with a treat bag, and three monsters reach into the same candy bucket. Every face is smiling, the spiders are round and friendly, and nothing is gory, so the whole set can go on one classroom table. Pumpkins turn up more often than any other object, which gives kids plenty of chances to reach for orange.

Coloring tips

  • Classic Halloween colors are orange and black, with purple and lime green as fun extras; choosing three or four before starting keeps a busy scene tidy.
  • Color the cut-out eyes and mouth of each jack-o'-lantern yellow so it looks like candlelight glowing from inside.
  • Keep ghosts white or very pale gray and color the space around them dark, so they seem to glow.
  • The black cat and the bats look good filled in dark gray or navy with a few black strokes on top, so the face and wing lines stay visible.
  • At a party table with mixed ages, put the single-symbol designs and the scene designs in separate piles so each child can choose their own pace.
