Halloween coloring pages & free printables for kids
For free Halloween coloring pages, start with the jack-o’-lantern pumpkin pack: a pumpkin coloring page, a Halloween color by number, a mosaic, a dot-to-dot, a six-piece puzzle and a drawing story, each available as a one-page Letter or A4 PDF. To make it personal, turn a costume photo or the pumpkin you carved together into a private pack.
Six Halloween activities from one pumpkin
Jack the pumpkin is a friendly, smiling jack-o’-lantern, so the pages suit children who prefer gentle Halloween pictures. The pack keeps the same pumpkin across 6 pages: free colouring, colour by number with a colour key, a numbered mosaic grid, connect the dots, a cut-and-build picture puzzle and a three-scene drawing story. The maple leaf pack adds an autumn picture for the same week.
Halloween activity ideas by age
For toddlers and young preschoolers, print the pumpkin coloring page and name the eyes, nose and smile together. Children who are learning numbers can try the colour by number, matching each number to the key. Confident counters can take on the mosaic grid or the dot-to-dot, which has more dots than a beginner 1–10 page. On the story page, ask what Jack does on Halloween night. Choose by readiness rather than age, and keep cutting with a grown-up.
Make a pack from a costume or carved pumpkin photo
A photo of your child in costume, or the pumpkin you carved together, can become the subject of a private pack. Choose a well-lit photo where the subject fills much of the frame. Masks, face paint and busy costume patterns can create tiny shapes, and AI line art may change details, so expect a drawing inspired by your photo rather than an exact likeness. Free tries are limited to 5 packs in any 24 hours. Your pack is private and expires after 24 hours, so download the PDFs you want to keep.
Printing tips for a Halloween party or classroom
Print one test page at Actual size before printing a stack. Line art works in black and white; the photo puzzle is easier to compare in colour. For a party table or classroom, download a single activity and print as many copies as you need instead of the full pack. Choose Letter in Canada and the US, or A4 if that is the paper in your printer.

Questions parents ask
Are these Halloween printables free?
Yes. The jack-o’-lantern pumpkin pack is one of 31 free starter packs. You can download one activity or the full pack without an account.
Are the Halloween pages scary?
No. Jack is a smiling jack-o’-lantern with no spooky scenes, so the pages work for younger children and classrooms that keep Halloween gentle.
Can I make a coloring page from my child’s costume photo?
Yes, if you have permission to use the photo. Photo Play makes a private pack with a coloring page and five more activities. The drawing may differ from the photo, and the pack expires after 24 hours.
