Free October Color Pages for Kids
October color pages are a fun way to celebrate the season while giving kids something creative to focus on.
From pumpkins and bats to swirling fall leaves, these pages capture the spirit of autumn and Halloween without being overwhelming.
I like using them as a calm activity on busy afternoons or as a seasonal project when friends come over.
Beyond the seasonal fun, coloring helps kids practice fine motor skills, attention to detail, and even patience.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or caregiver, October printables fit easily into both learning time and playtime.

What’s Included in the October Coloring Pages
This set comes with 10 free color pages, each with bold outlines and seasonal doodles that frame the word October in a different way.
Kids can choose designs that match their mood or the week’s activities:
- Pumpkin Patch – Pumpkins, curly vines, and a harvest theme make this one perfect for fall decorations.
- Falling Leaves – Swirling maple and oak leaves encourage kids to experiment with every shade of red, orange, and yellow.
- Spooky Web – Spiderwebs and dangling spiders add a Halloween touch without being too detailed for younger kids.
- Bat Flight – Soaring bats give older kids room to add shading while still being simple enough for early learners.
- Ghostly Fun – Friendly ghosts peeking from behind the letters keep things festive but not frightening.
- Candy Craze – Lollipops and candy corn capture Halloween excitement and work well for party activities.
- Harvest Basket – Apples, acorns, and wheat stalks celebrate the abundance of the season.
- Scarecrow Scene – A cheerful scarecrow surrounded by autumn details is great for pairing with fall storybooks.
- Dripping Letters – “October” appears in a slime-like style for kids who enjoy a spookier design.
- Animal Friends – Squirrels and owls sit among pumpkins and leaves, adding a woodland feel to the set.
Each page balances detail with open space, so kids of different ages can enjoy them. Print the whole set for variety, or just pick a few that match your fall theme.
More October Coloring Sheets
If your kids are asking for even more seasonal printables, these extra October coloring sheets pair perfectly with the word-art pages:
- Fall leaves coloring page – Maple, oak, and acorn designs give plenty of room for bright reds and golds. I’ve found these work especially well alongside a real leaf hunt.
- Spooky coloring pages – Friendly ghosts, bats, and spiderwebs add just the right amount of Halloween fun without being too scary for younger kids.
- Pumpkin coloring sheets – From cheerful jack-o’-lanterns to big harvest pumpkins, these are always popular. They’re also a fun extra after reading a pumpkin life cycle book.
- Halloween coloring pages – Witches, black cats, candy, and haunted houses make this set perfect for parties or as a calm classroom activity.
October Books for Kids
If your kids enjoy coloring seasonal pages, they’ll love pairing them with a few October read-alouds. These stories capture the fun, spookiness, and coziness of the season without being too scary.
- Room on the Broom – The rhymes are fun to read aloud, and kids quickly join in with the repeating lines. It’s Halloween themed but not frightening, which made it a go-to storytime choice in our house.
- Pumpkin Jack – After carving a pumpkin, Freddie was fascinated to see how closely this story matched what happened to our own jack-o’-lantern. It’s a gentle way to show the pumpkin life cycle and add a touch of science without it feeling like a lesson.
- Creepy Carrots! – This book always gets giggles. The slightly spooky illustrations are balanced with plenty of humor, and I still remember Freddie laughing out loud the first time we read it, and asking for it again the next night.
Pair these stories with our free October reading log and October color pages to track your child’s favorite books this season.
