Easy Halloween Drawings
50 free drawings in PDF, to color online or to copy by hand.
Halloween is a forgiving theme, one you can draw badly and still get away with: a wonky pumpkin is a good pumpkin. They run from a cute ghost that is two curves and a wavy hem to the spooky end of the collection, a bare tree and a tombstone, taking in a cat in a pointed hat, a spider on its thread and a witch in mid flight. Print them, color them on screen, or follow the steps and draw your own.
Halloween drawings to print and color
These Halloween coloring pages run from cute to spooky and stop well short of gore: a grinning pumpkin at one end, a tombstone and a bare tree at the other. Each one prints free, colors in on screen if you would rather not print, and comes with steps for copying it by hand.
Start here
The ghost in a witch hat and the smiling pumpkin are the cute, easy end: a handful of thick lines each, which makes them good first drawings from four years old.
The animals
The witch cat pokes its ears through the brim of its hat, the bat carries its pail in its hands, and the dog has simply thrown a sheet over itself.
For older children
The flying witch is a detailed page, between the folds of the cape and the fanned bristles of the broom. With the castle it is the page adults tend to keep for themselves. Use a pencil rather than a marker.
Characters children ask for by name
Halloween Mickey has his cape thrown back and a pumpkin pail in hand, Halloween Stitch has come as a bat, Hello Kitty wears the witch hat and Pikachu is hiding under a ghost sheet with his ears giving him away.
Places and things rather than creatures
The Halloween castle is all towers, tiled roofs and bats overhead. The Halloween cake carries a carved face and one lit candle, the candy bucket is filled past the brim, and the Halloween monster is the page nobody can color wrongly.
Beyond the classics
There is the carved jack-o'-lantern everyone pictures first, a skeleton in sunglasses, a ghost hiding behind a tombstone and a black cat beside a pumpkin. For the costume side there is a small witch, two children setting off and a teddy in a witch hat; for the sweets, a bat on a wrapped sweet and a lollipop with a pumpkin face. The bare tree is the spooky one, and there is also a cute Cinnamoroll, a pair of trick or treaters and a pumpkin cut with stars.
Everything prints free with no sign up. For another theme, the Christmas drawings are next door.
Common questions
Are these Halloween drawings too scary for young children?
No. The spooky end of the collection is a bare tree, a tombstone and a skeleton in sunglasses, and that is as far as it goes: no gore, nothing that keeps anyone awake. Everything else grins. The cute pages sit at the other end for the under fives.
Which Halloween coloring page cuts out well for a window or door?
The smiling pumpkin and the ghost have outlines thick enough to read from the street once taped to a window. The spider cuts out and hangs on real thread in a doorway, where it swings when someone walks past.
Are there well known characters dressed up for Halloween?
Yes, among them Mickey in a cape, Stitch as a bat, Hello Kitty as a witch and Pikachu under a ghost sheet. They are the ones children ask for by name.
What are the steps for drawing a witch on a broomstick?
The flying witch lists its steps at the bottom of the page: the broom on a diagonal first, then the witch seated on it, then the cape streaming behind. Like the castle, it is a detailed page that works best in pencil.
