Fun facts to share while coloring
Halloween has roots in Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival that marked the end of the harvest season. The name comes from “All Hallows’ Eve,” the night before All Saints’ Day on November 1. Jack-o’-lanterns were first carved from vegetables such as turnips in Ireland and Scotland; pumpkins became the favorite in North America because they were larger and easier to carve. Trick-or-treating is related to older customs like guising and souling, when people went door to door in costume or exchanged songs and prayers for food. Candy corn, one of Halloween’s most recognizable treats, was first made in the 1880s.
Coloring tips
A classic Halloween palette starts with pumpkin orange, midnight black, ghost white, bat gray, witchy purple, slime green, candle-flame yellow, and candy-corn stripes of yellow, orange, and white. For jack-o’-lanterns, follow the curved ribs of the pumpkin with your strokes, then press a little darker in the grooves and around the carved eyes to make the face glow. Haunted houses look extra spooky with deep blue or purple skies and pale yellow windows. For a fun twist, turn one page into a “glow night” scene: color the moon, ghosts, stars, and jack-o’-lantern faces with neon crayons or a light yellow halo around each shape.
