A tall smiling pumpkin wears a wide scarf around its lower half. One striped scarf end hangs at the side, and the pumpkin has large eyes, round cheeks, a curved stem, and long simple rib sections. Bold black outlines, broad white spaces, and a plain background keep the character easy to follow. The uncluttered design gives children room to practice coloring larger shapes without working around a busy scene or lots of tiny decorations.
This cozy character brings an autumn feeling to a gentle Halloween activity. Children can connect the scarf with cooler weather and choose colors that remind them of a favorite piece of clothing. Its few large stripes invite a simple repeating color pattern, while the plain pumpkin sections leave plenty of room for an unhurried coloring session.
Alternate two colors on the striped scarf end, then choose a warm shade for the pumpkin body. Print this free coloring page for a Halloween craft table, or download it to keep for a quiet activity at home. You can also color online on Zumipic with the Smart Brush. Start with the larger areas, then finish the smaller details at your own pace. The finished picture can become a cheerful seasonal display or a handmade card.
