Haunted Stone House with a Floating Ghost
Coloring guide
In front of a crooked stone house, a smiling ghost with big round eyes floats with both arms held out. The house has a shingled, pointed roof, a tall brick chimney with curling smoke, round windows, a little side tower, and an arched wooden door at the top of some stepping stones. The rest of the Halloween scene includes a crescent moon, three bats in a cloudy sky, bare trees, bushy shrubs and a leaning wooden fence. Two pumpkins and a few flowers sit in the grass at the bottom corners. Since the ghost's smooth body leaves a big open space, younger kids can fill it in easily. Pale blue or lavender will make it glow against a deep purple sky, and orange pumpkins finish it off. Free to print for the classroom or a Halloween party. Fans of Ghost coloring pages often like Witch and Elf as well.
