Big Smiling Jack-o’-Lantern with Bats

A giant smiling jack-o’-lantern fills the page, surrounded by swooping bats, crescent moons, stars, leaves, and curly pumpkin vines.

Free to print for personal and classroom use. This coloring page is part of the Pumpkin Jack O Lantern collection, made for ages 2–4 and drawn in a Bold & Easy style. A good pick for Halloween.

🎨 How to color it

Use bright pumpkin orange for the big jack-o’-lantern, forest green for the stem and curly vines, and deep purple for the little bats. Chunky crayons are perfect for the wide pumpkin sections, and it’s okay if little hands color over the thick black lines. Try making the triangle eyes and smile glow with sunny yellow so this pumpkin looks warm in the moonlight.

Under soft roof lights, Nico rolled bump-bump to find a cozy corner. The wind smelled like leaves and rain.

A tiny bat flapped down. “This spot is yours,” she whispered. Her wings tickled Nico’s round cheeks—swish, swish—and a big smile opened right across him.

The stars blinked. The moons curved close. Ever since that gentle night, jack-o’-lanterns smile wide when bats come home, because they know exactly where they belong. Can you find the bat who helped Nico grin?
