Ghost Coloring Pages

Three ghost coloring pages: a ghost peeking out of a pumpkin, a ghost riding a skateboard and a ghost astronaut in a space helmet

Most of these ghosts are not out to scare anyone. They wait for the bus in the rain, skate at the roller rink and go to school, where the chalkboard is still blank. What gets written on it is up to you.

Pick one round little ghost for a quick page, or a whole foggy street for a long evening. Print the PDF, or color online in your browser.

Launch Your Imagination

Coloring is the start. Pick one mission and the page becomes yours.

  1. The ghost teacher's chalkboard is empty. Write tonight's lesson on it, or draw the picture the class is copying.
  2. Give the ghosts' lemonade stand a name and write it on the blank sign, with a price for one cup.
  3. The screen in the old movie theater is blank. Draw the movie the ghosts came to see.
  4. Turn the attic page over and finish the story: who is counting, and which ghost gets found last?
  5. Color the two little ghosts holding hands, cut them out together and glue them onto a folded card for someone.

Ideas for Coloring Ghost

  • Leave one ghost whiteColor the night around it deep blue or purple and the uncolored ghost seems to glow.
  • Glow with a cotton swabShade a soft ring of yellow pencil around the lanterns and candles, then rub it outward with a cotton swab so the light spreads into the dark.
  • Wispy tails with layered pencilsPress harder near the body and lighter toward the wavy tip, one thin layer at a time, so the tail fades out like mist.
  • What color is the moonlight?Pick one, silver blue, pale yellow or soft green, and touch every ghost in the scene with a little of it so they share the same night.
  • Day or night?The snowman, the sandcastle and the lemonade stand could just as well happen at noon. Pick one and give it a bright daytime sky.
  • Color onlineThe floral ghost is full of small petals, and in the online tool each one fills with a single tap, so a whole new color scheme takes minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these ghost coloring pages scary?

Most are not. The ghosts here fly kites, run a lemonade stand and go to school. A few detailed pages, such as the ghost ship in a storm and the carriage on a foggy street, are moodier, but nothing is gory.

Are there ghost coloring pages for adults?

Yes. The two mandalas, the zentangle ghost, the floral ghost, the gothic doorway and the toadstool pattern have fine lines and many small spaces, and the opera house and the Venice canal are detailed scenes.

Where are the jack-o'-lanterns and witches?

In the Halloween coloring pages. This collection is only about ghosts, and many of its pages have nothing to do with Halloween: snow days, a beach trip, bath time.

Can a page be printed more than once?

Yes. The pages are free to print, so print as many copies as you need for yourself or for your group. Every PDF prints on US Letter.
