At home, this printable is perfect for a rainy afternoon, and parents can turn it into a storytelling prompt about pumpkin patches or Halloween traditions.

This free printable adds color to seasonal lessons, invites imaginative play, and creates keepsakes that celebrate the fun of autumn and Halloween.

Coloring Tips & Techniques

Start with bright orange for the pumpkin body, and use a darker orange or brown along the ribs to show roundness. Color the stem green or brown, and add light yellow inside the eyes and mouth to make it look like a glowing lantern. Try gentle circular strokes and press harder for darker shadows and softer for highlights.
