Halloween is all about spooky fun, but honestly, it can be a bit much for our little ones. For a toddler just figuring out the world, those big, scary decorations can be a bit much.
That’s why I was so excited to create this collection of 18 adorable Halloween coloring pages. These pages are designed to introduce you to the magic of the season, without any scary surprises. Consider them a young child’s first, friendly introduction to Halloween!
We’ve kept everything simple and cute for little hands from 18 months to almost 4 years old. You’ll find smiling pumpkins, friendly ghosts looking like cute clouds, and adorable bats ready to play. The lines are beautiful and bold, and the shapes are super simple, perfect for those chunky crayons and developing fine motor skills.
These pages have been lifesavers for us during quiet times, and they’re perfect to print out for a Halloween party activity or a relaxing afternoon at the kitchen table. It’s all about helping our little ones associate Halloween with creativity and fun.
Ready for some adorable, but not at all scary, fun? Let’s take a look at these Halloween coloring pages for kids.
