How to Use the Halloween Countdown Printable

Start using the Halloween countdown coloring page on October 1 and color one numbered picture each day until Halloween.

There are 31 Halloween pictures to work through, including pumpkins, skeletons, witches, ghosts, a haunted house, spiderwebs, and other spooky designs. Kids can use crayons, colored pencils, or markers, coloring one picture each day until the entire countdown is complete on October 31.

We usually keep ours somewhere visible so it’s easy to remember which picture comes next. The fridge, classroom wall, or bulletin board all work well.

You can also make the activity a little more creative with stickers, glitter glue, stamps, or Halloween doodles. For younger kids, the numbered pictures are a simple way to practice number recognition and counting to 31.

Fun Ways to Count Down to Halloween

If you want to make the countdown to Halloween into a bigger October tradition, pair the coloring page with a few simple extras. You can also check how many days until Halloween with our time calculator.

We’ve used a Halloween advent calendar alongside ours, so there’s a small surprise after the day’s picture has been colored.

A set of Halloween countdown blocks is another fun way to keep track of how many days are left, while a Halloween countdown book can turn the countdown into a daily reading tradition.

By Halloween, the finished coloring page also makes a fun October decoration.

Our free haunted house coloring page is another easy Halloween coloring activity to use as October 31 gets closer.
