A simple pumpkin becomes a number-matching activity in this Halloween color by number page. The three broad pumpkin sections each carry the number 1. The stem and leaf each show 2, while the two surrounding stars are marked 3. These seven numbered areas keep the task focused and give children a clear route through the picture without a complicated scene.
Use this color key: 1 = orange, 2 = green, 3 = purple. Find every 1 first and color those pumpkin sections orange. Next, look for both 2s and fill the stem and leaf green. Finish with the two purple stars marked 3. Children can point to a numeral and name its color before filling the area. Leave the background white; the small white spaces inside the printed numerals can also remain uncolored.
Print the free Halloween color by number page for an easy classroom or home activity, download it, or color it online on Zumipic while referring to the key above. Keep three pencils or crayons nearby so the color choices are easy to remember. After finishing, review each numbered area together and ask which number appeared most often. The activity ends with a bright pumpkin and a simple comparison of the groups.
