Little Ghost Hugging a Halloween Pumpkin Among Autumn Leaves
Coloring guide
In this sweet scene, a smiling little ghost with big sparkly eyes and an open happy mouth holds a carved jack-o'-lantern close to its tummy. The pumpkin has triangle eyes, a small triangle nose, a wide grin with a single tooth and a curly stem. The ghost's wavy bottom edge trails off at the lower left. Four autumn leaves drift around the page: two pointed, lobed ones, a rounded oak-style leaf at the top right and a plain smooth leaf on the left. Thick outlines and open spaces suit preschoolers and early elementary kids who are working on pencil control. Bright orange with a green stem looks great on the pumpkin, and soft light blue or lavender helps the ghost stand out. Red, yellow and brown crayons are perfect for the leaves.
