About these ghost coloring pages

These ghost coloring pages keep Halloween cute-spooky: every ghost smiles, waves or plays, and none of them are scary. Ages 3 to 5 can color a big round ghost waving hello or a little ghost with a trick-or-treat pail. Ages 6 to 8 get a ghost hiding among sheets on a clothesline and another heading up a front path with a black cat.

Kids 9 and up get an attic party and a ghost parade through a village, while teens and adults can fill a ghost-petal mandala or an elegant tea party. A quick art trick: color the background dark and leave the ghosts white, so they seem to glow on the page.

Also in halloween coloring pages, cute coloring pages and kawaii coloring pages.

Ghost facts to share

  1. Some Halloween customs trace back to Samhain, a Gaelic festival marking the end of harvest, held around October 31 and November 1.
  2. Trick-or-treating became a widespread American Halloween custom in the mid-1900s.
  3. Tip: trace a ghost onto black construction paper with white chalk or crayon for a page that seems to glow.

Color idea: Leave the ghosts white and fill the sky with deep purples and blues, then add a pop of orange for jack-o'-lanterns so the page feels like Halloween night.

Ghost coloring page questions

Are these ghost pages too scary for preschoolers?

No. Every ghost has a smiling face, round eyes and soft, rounded shapes, with no menacing expressions. The easy designs also have almost no background, so they suit ages 3 and up, including children who are a little nervous about Halloween.

How do you color a white ghost?

Leave the ghost white and color the background around it, using a dark blue or purple night sky. Or tint the ghost a pale color such as mint, lavender or baby blue, with light gray shading along one side.

Which ghost pages work for a Halloween party?

The trick-or-treating ghost and the clothesline ghost are quick, cheerful medium pages for ages 6 to 8. For a mixed-age group, add the ghost parade and the attic party, which keep older kids busy longer.
