Halloween coloring pages

A witch takes a tray of pumpkin cookies out of the oven, and her raven is watching. A cat and a ghost bob for apples in the same tub. One trick-or-treat bag is still empty, and filling it is your job.
Some pages are one big friendly shape. The mandalas and the haunted mansion are packed with tiny spaces. Print a PDF, or color online in your browser.

Launch your imagination
Coloring is the start. Pick one mission and the page becomes yours.
- Draw who is looking out of the big empty window of the haunted house, then give them a name.
- Draw the candy you hope to bring home, piled high in the empty trick-or-treat bag.
- Join the school costume parade: draw yourself in this year's costume, marching along with the others.
- On the back, write what the two kids in the blanket fort hear right after the flashlight goes out.
- Cut out the round little bat, tape a string to its back and hang it in a window.
Ideas for coloring halloween
- Ghosts in any colorNobody says a ghost has to be white. Try the lollipop ghost in mint, lilac or stripes and see who it turns into.
- Glow with crayon resistColor the candle flame and the lantern's carved eyes with a white or yellow crayon, then brush watercolor over the pumpkin. The wax keeps the glow showing through.
- Start with the lightOn the haunted house tour, color the flashlight beam first, then let the hallway get darker the farther it is from the beam.
- Hidden facesThe old trees on the haunted forest path have faces in their bark. Find every one before you pick up a pencil.
- White gel pen on a dark skyOnce the sky over the castle on the cliff is dark, add stars, rain or cobweb threads with a white gel pen.
- Coloring onlineTap an area to fill it and zoom in for the tiny spaces in the mandalas. Simple mode gives you twelve colors and a brush that stays inside the lines.
Frequently asked questions
Why do we carve jack-o'-lanterns from pumpkins?
The custom started in Ireland and Scotland, where people carved faces into turnips. Irish immigrants in America switched to pumpkins in the 1800s, since they were bigger and easier to hollow out.
What is a trunk-or-treat?
Families park in one lot, often at a school or church, decorate their open car trunks and hand out candy from them. Kids go from car to car instead of door to door.
Can I print these for a class Halloween party?
Yes. You may print as many copies as you need for a classroom, homeschool group or library program. Every page prints on US Letter paper.
