A Halloween Twist That Kids Love

Halloween is the perfect time to mix spooky stories with hands-on fun, and these free printable Halloween coloring pages do just that.

Instead of just handing kids a random set of pages, this printable follows a short, easy-to-read Halloween story that unfolds one page at a time.

As you read aloud, kids can color the characters as they appear, Frankenstein, the mummy, the vampire, and more. It’s an engaging way to build listening skills and boost creativity while bringing the story to life.

These Halloween storytime pages also offer a bit of learning along the way. You can talk about where these classic monsters came from, what makes them part of Halloween tradition, and how they’re shown in books or movies.

Whether you’re reading at home or in the classroom, this set adds a calm, creative break to any Halloween celebration.

And yes, they’re free for personal and classroom use, just scroll to the bottom to access the printable PDF.

Color Ideas for Each Halloween Scene

Each page in this printable follows the story and features a Halloween character or setting. Here are a few ideas to help kids choose colors and stay inspired:

Halloween Party Banner: Use classic Halloween colors, orange, purple, and black, to set the scene. Add glow effects with yellow or white around lanterns or lights.

Zombie Costume: Pale green skin, tattered gray or brown clothes, let kids decide how spooky to make it! You can also enjoy our zombie coloring sheets.

The Mummy: Try off-white or yellowish bandages with shadowy lines to give texture.

Devil Costume: Bright red with black accents always works. Add flames or spooky shadows in the background if kids want to get creative.

Witch and Wizard: Use bold colors, dark green, plum, midnight blue, for their robes and hats. The cauldron is a fun detail, what color is the potion inside?

If your kids enjoy coloring witches and magic scenes, they’ll love our witch coloring sheet. A friendly Halloween printable that keeps the theme going without being too spooky.

Frankenstein: Stick with the classic green skin and dark cape, or switch it up. Purple, navy, or red can add flair.

Final Scene with Moonlight: The last page features a calm moment under the full moon. Use light gray and white for the moon, deep browns for the tree, and soft yellows or oranges to suggest the glow.

Giving kids a little direction while still encouraging their choices keeps things fun, and helps them stay focused as the story builds from page to page.

Favorite Halloween Books for Kids

We always like to pair our Halloween printables with a few cozy read-alouds, especially in the days leading up to trick-or-treating. These are some of our go-to Halloween books for preschool and early elementary ages:

• The Night Before Halloween is a fun spin on the classic poem. It builds excitement for the big night and has just the right amount of spooky without being scary, perfect for younger kids.
• Room on the Broom has been a longtime favorite in our house. The rhymes are so catchy, and the message about friendship and kindness always leads to good conversations afterward.
• The Halloween Tree is a bit newer to our shelf, but it’s a funny and imaginative story that adds something different to our Halloween mix. It’s a great one to bring out each October.
