Halloween coloring pages

Halloween pages let kids explore "spooky" in a safe, controlled way. Ghosts, witches, and skeletons here are drawn friendly and round rather than scary, so kids can enjoy the season's imagery without it feeling frightening. It's also a seasonal favorite for classrooms and at-home activities in October.

Get ready for spooky season with this collection of not-too-scary Halloween pages. Color a crooked haunted house lit up under a crescent moon, another haunted house with bats flying past a waving ghost, a werewolf howling at the full moon, and a classic grinning jack-o'-lantern with a curly stem. There are plenty of trick-or-treaters too, like a kid dressed as a mummy, a ghost, a dinosaur, a wizard, a cat, and a dog, each carrying a jack-o'-lantern candy bucket - some walking the sidewalk, some riding along in a wagon past a waving scarecrow. A young witch soars by on her broomstick in one scene and stirs a bubbling cauldron with her black cat in another, while a smiling bat perches on a branch nearby. Out in the pumpkin patch, a kid hugs a big jack-o'-lantern under a smiling moon, and back at home another kid carves a jack-o'-lantern at the table next to a candy bowl and a lit candle. A boy and girl hang their own jack-o'-lantern and ghost decorations on a bare tree, and friendlier faces round out the set, including a waving skeleton, a Frankenstein costume, a candy corn character, a ghost bedtime story with three sleepy little ghosts, and a giggly ghost shouting "Boo!". Each scene is drawn in bold, simple outlines that fill in easily with a tap on a phone, tablet, or computer - no downloads or sign-ups, just pick a spooky scene, choose a crayon, and start coloring, then save your finished picture to keep or print.

Keep night scenes cohesive by using the same deep blue or purple for every sky across the collection, then let the jack-o'-lanterns, candy, and costumes provide the bright pops of color. Black doesn't have to be flat: try a dark purple or navy instead of pure black for cats, bats, and witch hats for a softer look.
