How to use these pages
Ten Halloween pages for preschoolers with nothing scary in them: a smiling jack-o'-lantern, a friendly ghost, a bat, a black cat in a witch hat, a bowl of candy. Each page is one subject with a small detail and a 4.5pt outline. Talk about costumes and what your child will dress up as, then color. Orange, black and purple crayons get the most use.
For a classroom party, the ZIP download gives all ten PDFs; the pumpkin and ghost pages make good cut-out decorations.
What to expect at ages 3 to 5
Three-year-olds color the shape and enjoy the friendly faces. Four- and five-year-olds start to color the face features separately and to add their own decorations. If your child is nervous about Halloween, start with the pumpkin and candy pages and leave the ghost for later; every character on these pages is smiling.
Questions about these pages
Are these really not scary?
Yes. Every character has a smile and rounded shapes, there are no sharp teeth, no blood and no skeletons. The set is designed for preschool classrooms where some children are anxious about Halloween.
When should I print these?
Any time from late September. Teachers usually use them during the last two weeks of October. The Autumn collection covers the season without Halloween references if you need that instead.

Printing tips
Every page downloads as a PDF in A4 and US Letter. Print at 100% scale on plain paper. For toddlers, heavier paper (120 gsm or more) holds up better to enthusiastic crayon work. The ZIP bundles contain one PDF per page.
