Why we made this one
Most free Halloween colouring pages come as a long gallery you scroll through, and the pages meant for little ones sit in the same scroll as the ones meant for teenagers. We read thirteen of the biggest free sets on 1 September 2026 to check that before saying it.
Five of the thirteen had something genuinely frightening in them, such as a screaming mask, a snarling werewolf or a rotting face, within a few thumbnails of a page the same site had labelled for preschoolers. On the largest of them we measured the line detail and the pages tagged for preschoolers were no simpler than the rest; the label was on the page, not in the drawing.
Two of the thirteen were honestly good and simple all the way through, so this is not everyone. It is common enough that scrolling one of these with a two-year-old on your lap is a gamble, and that is the thing we wanted to take away.
What you need
- The PDF
- Plain printer paper. Ordinary copier paper is fine. Slightly thicker paper stops felt tips going through onto the table.
- Whatever you colour with. Chunky crayons suit these best, because the shapes are big enough for a fist grip.
- A printer that prints black. There is no colour anywhere in the file.
What is in the file
Eleven sheets, printed twice over: pages 1 to 11 are US Letter and pages 12 to 22 are the same eleven at A4. Print one set. The cover comes first, then the ten pages in this order.
- The cover. A small pumpkin above the words Halloween Colouring Pages. There is nothing to fill in on it, so skip it if you would rather not spend the paper.
- A jack-o'-lantern on a doorstep, grinning, with a curly stalk. The carved eyes, nose and mouth are filled in black, because that is what a carved pumpkin actually looks like. Everything around them is open.
- A round ghost waving. Two shapes and a smile. One of the easiest pages here.
- A cat in a witch hat, sitting up with its tail curled round. The hat is one big open shape.
- A bat hanging upside down from a branch by its feet, wings folded, with a small face looking back at you.
- A trick-or-treat bucket shaped like a smiling pumpkin, tipped over with wrapped sweets spilling out beside it.
- Three candy corns, each one divided into three plain bands. This is the simplest page in the set and the one to hand over first.
- A witch hat and a broom standing side by side, and nothing else on the page.
- A spider on a thread hanging below a web. He is smiling. The web is the finest line work in the file, so an adult may end up doing that corner.
- An owl on a fence post with a big round moon behind it. The feathers make this the busiest page in the set.
- Three pumpkins on a porch step, different sizes, all with curly stalks.
How to print it
- Print only the pages that match your paper. Letter is pages 1 to 11, A4 is pages 12 to 22. If you print the whole file you get everything twice.
- Set Actual Size rather than Fit to Page. Fit to Page shrinks the drawing and leaves a wider white border. Nothing breaks either way.
- Black and white is all there is, so there is no colour setting to get wrong.
- Print the whole set at once if you can. The point of a stack is that nobody has to come and ask for the next one.
If your child is nearer four than two
Print this set anyway and give them the busier end of it. The owl, the porch pumpkins and the spider's web all have enough in them to hold an older child for a while, and the candy corn page becomes the one they do in two minutes while deciding what to do next.
There are more Halloween printables on the site if you want to make an afternoon of it: a cootie catcher, a bat garland, treat bag toppers and a You've Been BOOed kit to leave on a neighbour's step.
Common questions
How many pages are in this Halloween colouring set?
Ten colouring pages and a cover, so eleven sheets to print. The file itself has twenty-two pages because the same eleven appear twice, once at US Letter and once at A4. You print one set, not both. Pages 1 to 11 are Letter and pages 12 to 22 are A4.
Is any of it scary?
No. Every page was printed and looked at before this was written. The two carved pumpkins are smiling, the ghost is waving, the bat and the spider both have small friendly faces, and the owl is round and fluffy. There are no skeletons, no monsters, no blood and no sharp teeth anywhere in the file.
Which page should a two-year-old start with?
The candy corn page. It is three large shapes with two lines across each one, and it is the simplest thing in the set. The waving ghost is the next easiest. Leave the owl and the three pumpkins on the porch step until later, because those two have the most going on.
