The easiest Halloween page to start with
A ghost is a curved outline with two eyes, which makes these the most forgiving pages in the collection. There is no wrong color, the shape is large and open, and a two or three year old can fill one in and feel they have finished something. If you are printing for the youngest child in the house, start here.
Because the shape is so simple, it also survives being colored badly. A ghost that is scribbled over in three colors still looks like a ghost, which matters more than adults tend to remember.
Which design suits which age
The plain cartoon ghosts work from two upwards. The designs with backgrounds, moonlight and more detailed expressions suit five and up. A few of the later ones are drawn to be genuinely spooky rather than cute, so look before handing them over to a younger child.
For a child who finds Halloween frightening
Ghosts are the usual sticking point, and coloring one is a reliable way through it. Let your child choose the color, then ask them to give it a happy face. It is difficult to stay frightened of a bright pink ghost that you drew a smile on yourself, and that is worth more than being told there is nothing to worry about.
