Gloomy Frankenstein Monster Holding a Jack-o'-Lantern

A tall, frowning Frankenstein monster stands with slumped shoulders in a boxy buttoned coat, looking tired and a little grumpy. He has a flat-topped head with messy hair across the forehead, heavy brows, and bolts on both sides of his neck. One arm hangs down at his side with a loose fist, while the other arm is bent up and holds a carved pumpkin in an open palm. The jack-o'-lantern has slanted eyes, a triangle nose, and a wide toothy grin, which contrasts nicely with his sad face. He wears baggy pants and big clunky shoes. The large open areas on the coat and pants are easy for little hands to fill in. Try coloring the monster in classic green and the pumpkin bright orange, then ask kids to talk about why one face looks sad and the other looks mischievous. This printable page works well for a Halloween party table or a classroom activity.
