About these pumpkin coloring pages

This set of pumpkin coloring pages follows the season from patch to porch. Preschoolers get single round pumpkins and a smiling jack-o'-lantern with thick outlines, children ages 6 to 8 get pumpkin picking and porch scenes, older kids get busy hayride and farm-stand pictures, and teens and adults get doodle pumpkins and a harvest still life.

If you want jack-o'-lantern coloring pages for a Halloween party, print the face designs and ask children to plan the face they would give a real pumpkin before carving day. For a fall math center, pair a harvest scene with a real pumpkin: measure it with string, guess its weight, then count the seeds together.

Also in halloween coloring pages, thanksgiving coloring pages, fall coloring pages and kawaii coloring pages.

Pumpkin facts to share

  1. Pumpkins are a kind of winter squash. They grow on long vines and are botanically a fruit because they hold seeds.
  2. In Ireland and Scotland, people once carved Halloween lanterns from turnips. In North America, big pumpkins became the favorite for carving.
  3. Pumpkin seeds can be rinsed, dried and roasted with a little oil for a crunchy fall snack.

Color idea: Use two or three oranges on each pumpkin, lighter in the middle of every rib and deeper red-orange where the ribs meet, then add a touch of brown near the stem.

Pumpkin coloring page questions

Which pumpkin pages suit preschoolers?

Start with the easy designs: the round pumpkin with a curly vine, the stack of three pumpkins and the smiling jack-o'-lantern. They have thick outlines, large spaces and almost no background, so small hands can fill them with chunky crayons.

Are the jack-o'-lantern faces scary?

No. Every carved face in this set is friendly, with a grin, round or triangle eyes and no menacing expressions. They are drawn for young children, which makes them a good fit for preschool and early elementary Halloween parties.

Can I use these pumpkin pages for Thanksgiving too?

Yes. Many designs show pumpkins without faces, such as the pumpkin patch, the pie on the windowsill, the farm stand, the hayride and the harvest still life. Those suit any fall unit or Thanksgiving table, while the carved faces fit Halloween.
