18 spooky Halloween colouring pages to print out
Here are some more fun things to do this Halloween...
Halloween is the time of year for all things spooky! And while your kids might be venturing out to a haunted house or for Trick or Treat, that doesn't mean you can't still have all kinds of ghoulish fun at home.
Whether you're decorating your house for a Halloween party, to let passers by know you're up for Trick or Treat, or just to get your kids in the spooky spirit, we've got tonnes of Halloween colouring pages that make perfect decorations. Plus, your kids will have loads of fun colouring them in - and it'll get them in the mood for whatever spooky activities are coming next!
If you've got a group of children over for a Halloween party, why not turn it into a colouring competition? The kids can each choose a picture to colour in, and the adults will decide which is the best one! The kids will enjoy turning it into a game, and it's a great way to motivate your child to do some crafts if they'd rather be on the iPad!
Click through the gallery to see all of our plain printable Halloween colouring pages. All of our printables are totally free and are easy to download and use at home. Plus, you can print each page as many times as you like, which beats the tantrums when a picture in the colouring book doesn't go exactly to plan...
Whether you want to use some of our colouring pages or create your own, some good ideas for pictures include:
- A pumpkin. You can't go wrong with a classic pumpkin for Halloween. Plus, our pumpkin colouring pages can also double up as stencils to use when you're carving your own real-life pumpkins. Saves you drawing a tricky design! And the scarier the face, the more scary your pumpkin lantern will be...
- A witch. Witches are another classic for Halloween - and try picture of a witch on a broomstick to make it that bit harder!
- A ghost. Ghosts are another perfect picture for Halloween, and one that's easier for younger children!
- A cat. A simple cat face will be easy for kids to colour in, or get them to draw their own.
- A haunted house. This one might be a little bit more complicated, but older children will be able to go wild and include as many spooky things as they'd like hidden in the house!
- A bat. Bats are another easy shape for kids to colour in, and you could even cut them out to turn into flying bats to stick to the ceiling.
- A spider. Spiders will also be easy for kids to colour in, and can make great cut-out decorations, too.
Your kids will need some felt tips for colouring in – ALWAYS choose washable pens for obvious reasons! This pack of 24 by Crayola has all the colours they'll need. See more details here at Amazon.
