October coloring pages for kids

October pages are friendly, not scary. On these 48 pages, smiling pumpkins sit beside waving ghosts, bats fly past a crescent moon, and candy corn mixes with fall leaves. A ghost holds an acorn, an owl sits on a branch and a scarecrow stands next to a pumpkin. Most pages are Medium.

All 48 October coloring pages

Pumpkins, ghosts and bats

Almost every October page puts two or three friendly characters together: a pumpkin and a ghost, a bat and a ghost, or a pumpkin with a spider and a bat. Some pumpkins are carved into jack-o'-lanterns and some just smile. The ghosts wave, hold out their arms and float under the moon. A witch hat, a spider web and dangling spiders add a little Halloween.

Fall leaves and harvest

October is also peak fall. Oak and maple leaves, acorns, apples and candy corn fill the corners of many pages, and there's a page with five October friends holding out their arms.

Most October pages are Medium, a good middle level for kids about 5 to 8. A few simple ones are Easy.

October ideas

  • Collect real fall leaves and glue them around a colored page.
  • Color a ghost on white paper, cut it out and tape it to a window.
  • Count the bats and pumpkins on each page.

For witches, mummies and a haunted house, see the Halloween coloring pages. More leaves are on the autumn coloring pages.

Questions parents and teachers ask

Are the October pages scary?

No. The pumpkins smile, the ghosts wave and the bats look friendly. They're fine for preschoolers. The Halloween pages have a few spookier ones for older kids.

What's the difference between October and Halloween pages?

October pages mix friendly pumpkins and ghosts with fall leaves, acorns and apples. The Halloween pages have more costume characters like witches, mummies and vampires.
