Cozy Armchair Ghost Reading with a Sleeping Cat
Coloring guide
Settled back in a plush armchair, a friendly little ghost with big sparkling eyes and a smile holds open a picture book. One page shows a tree and sun, and the other a fairy-tale castle with clouds. A blanket drapes over its lap, and a sleepy striped cat is curled up on a round rug by its feet. The room has a table lamp with a pleated shade, a framed mountain picture on the wall, and a bookshelf with books, a small potted plant, a trailing heart-leaf vine and a tiny ghost figurine. It's a calm, sweet scene that works for quiet-time coloring at home or at school. Soft purple or teal looks good on the armchair, with a warm yellow glow for the lamp, and your child can choose bright colors for the storybook pages. Save it as a free PDF for a screen-free activity. Fans of Ghost coloring pages often like Witch and Elf as well.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the big armchair in tangerine orange, covering the back, both arms, the seat and the legs, then fill the bookshelves, side table and floor trim in wood brown.
- 2Color the cat in apricot orange, with a salmon pink inner ear, and leave its front and back paws white so they stand out against the orange.
- 3Fill the rug with cream in the middle and bright blue along the edge, then add the book cover and pages in bright blue with royal blue on the spines.
- 4Color the lamp shade in bright blue, the lamp base in golden yellow, and the picture frame in caramel, with the sky in pale sky blue, the mountains and tree in leaf green and the sun in golden yellow.
- 5Keep the ghost's blanket, head, hands and eye whites white, and leave the clouds and the wall behind the armchair white.
- 6Optional: Add a few books on the shelves in plum purple, cherry red, golden yellow and leaf green, then finish the plant and hearts in light green and olive green.
