Nothing brings out the excitement of Halloween quite like a big stack of coloring pages! As a mom of three, I’m always on the lookout for fun, simple ways to keep my little ones happy and entertained, especially on chilly autumn afternoons. Halloween coloring pages for preschoolers are a lifesaver—they keep tiny hands busy and creative spirits high while you get dinner started or prep those spooky decorations. With pages full of cute pumpkins, silly ghosts, and friendly witches, these coloring sheets are perfect for making family memories. I know firsthand how much kids love them!
These preschool-friendly designs pair so well with the spooky-but-sweet Halloween coloring collection I created just for younger kids.
Below, I’m sharing all my favorites for this year’s Halloween coloring adventures. These pages are safe, sweet, and just right for preschoolers (and their tired moms). Grab a pack of crayons and let’s dive in!

Simple Halloween Shapes for Little Hands
Simple shapes make coloring so much easier for toddlers and preschoolers. I always start with big pumpkins, bold bats, or basic ghost outlines. My youngest can’t get enough of these since they’re easy to color inside the lines—well, most of the time!
Print out pages that focus on circles, triangles, and squares to help with those fine motor skills. Sometimes we even make a game of naming shapes as we color. It’s simple and keeps their attention, which is a total win in my house.
Preschool-Friendly Halloween Printables
I love how many printables there are now that are made just for preschoolers. Think friendly black cats, smiling jack-o-lanterns, and little witches with big hats—nothing too detailed, so little ones won’t get frustrated. These printables pop up everywhere, from Pinterest to teacher blogs.
The best part? You can print new ones every week so there’s always something fresh. My older two help me pick out favorites, which is fun for everyone. Watching them pick the “perfect” picture always cracks me up!
Large-Outlined Halloween Coloring Pages
Thick, bold outlines make a world of difference with little hands. I swear by pages with chunky borders—it’s so much easier for tiny fingers working on their grip. No tiny, wiggly shapes that make everyone frustrated.
I keep a folder of “big outline” pages just for preschool days. Pumpkins with grins as wide as the page, fat little spiders, and huge friendly ghosts are always a hit at my house. These are perfect for the youngest, and they even look cute up on the fridge.
Easy and Fun Halloween Scenes for Preschool
Scenes give kids a chance to tell their own stories. I look for small, easy scenes, like a pumpkin patch, a not-too-scary graveyard, or a happy haunted house. My kids love to pick who lives in the house, what the pumpkins’ faces look like, or if there’s a silly cat hiding under the moon.
Scenes spark lots of conversations, and they’re perfect for sibling teamwork. Sometimes, we color a big sheet together and hang it up as a Halloween decoration. I love seeing what little details each child adds!
Conclusion
Halloween coloring pages for preschoolers are my go-to for fun, low-stress holiday activities. There’s something so sweet about hearing little voices chat about costumes while they fill in pumpkins and ghosts with wild colors. Whether your kids love simple shapes or full scenes, there’s a perfect page for everyone. Print a few (or ten), grab your crayons, and watch those little imaginations run wild! Happy Halloween, mom friends—it’s the simple things that make the season magical.
