10 Halloween Color by Number Pages (Free Printables)

By Zen Vibes Editors · Published

Halloween color by number pages work because the holiday has its own paint box: orange pumpkins, purple night skies, green cauldron brew, a little black for the cats and bats. Match the numbers and the page looks like October without anyone planning it.

The set starts with the easy ones: a grinning jack-o'-lantern, a ghost waving, three pieces of candy corn, a black cat arching on a fence in front of the moon. Then it gets busier: a ghost holding a pumpkin under a full moon, a cauldron bubbling over a fire with a broom leaning nearby, a spider on its web, a bowl of treats on a doorstep, a row of bats hanging from a branch. The haunted house at the end has lit windows, a winding path, and a welcome mat, because everything here is silly rather than scary. The same pages work for a preschool party and a third-grade class.

How to print these pages

  1. Pick the paper size that matches what is in your printer: US Letter or A4.
  2. Open the PDF and choose Print. Set scale to 100 percent or “actual size” (not “fit to page”).
  3. Plain copy paper works for crayons and pencils. Use heavier cardstock for markers or paint.

Print at actual size on plain copy paper. Black is used sparingly in the keys (cats, bats), so most pages come out bright: orange, purple, and green do the work.

About the black

A few pages use black in the key for cats, bats, and spiders. Black crayon over a big area takes patience, so those pages sit a notch harder than their shapes suggest. A black marker or a soft pencil gets through it faster.

Party table

Print the four easy pages in a stack and leave a jar of crayons out. Guests who arrive early sit down without being asked.

Ideas for using these pages

  • Party table: print a stack of the easy ghost and pumpkin pages and leave crayons in a jar for guests who arrive early.
  • Spot the difference: two children color the same page, then compare where their crayon shades differ even with the same key.
  • Story starter: after finishing the haunted house page, write three sentences about who lives there.

Questions about this set

Are these pages scary?
No. Every ghost smiles, every pumpkin grins, and the haunted house has a welcome mat. They are drawn for young children and classrooms.
Which pages are best for preschoolers?
The ones with three to five colors: the single pumpkin, the friendly ghost, the candy corn, and the black cat. Each has a few big areas and a short key.
