Cute Halloween Coloring Pages

Friendly characters for a Halloween coloring afternoon

These 30 cute Halloween coloring pages show smiling characters in playful scenes. A ghost splashes through a puddle with an umbrella, a bat listens to music, and a little witch ties a bow on her broom. You can also choose funny pumpkin faces, a toy-loving zombie or a party with costume friends.

Choose a page by its detail

The simpler drawings have large shapes and little background detail, such as the mummy on a scooter or the boy holding a pumpkin. Try these with crayons. The porches, castles and group scenes have smaller spaces that suit colored pencils and a longer coloring session. Suggested ages are 5 to 10, but anyone who enjoys these characters can choose a page.

The characters look friendly, though several scenes include gravestones, skeletons or a zombie. Look through the previews and pick a subject your child is comfortable with.

Download and print

Open a drawing to download the PNG or select the PDF for printing. For A4 paper, check the preview and use fit to page so the whole picture stays inside the printable area. Choose the half-page option when you want smaller pictures for a shared coloring activity.

Colors and activities to try

Give the ghost a pale blue outline, color the witch's hat purple, or make each pumpkin in the stack a different shade. A group can choose individual pages and hang the finished pictures together as a Halloween display. The busy party scene also makes a picture to talk about: find the treats and name each costume.
