Three ghosts, three heights, one friendly page. Print the PDF and start wherever you like.
Three friendly ghosts float in a row, one tall, one middle-sized, one small, each with a simple round face and a wavy hem where the sheet ends. Small stars dot the space around them; the rest of the page stays open. The shapes are big and the lines clean, which makes this a good first Halloween page for a child of three or four; the stars give older kids room to add detail. Crayons are easiest; pale gray, blue, or lavender pencils turn the folds soft.
Why a sheet makes such a good ghost
The sheet ghost has been a Halloween staple for generations because a plain white cloth over a head already has the shape we expect: a rounded top, a fall of fabric, a ragged hem. Nothing needs sewing, which is why it turns up in school parades year after year.
In a drawing, the folds do the work. A few curved lines down each ghost suggest cloth, and an eye and a mouth are enough for a face. Too many lines and the shape goes flat.
Coloring and printing tips
- Print at 100% scale, black and white. On A4, choose "fit to page".
- Copy paper (20 lb / 80 gsm) for crayons and pencils, cardstock (65 lb / 160 gsm) for markers.
- Leave the ghosts white and color only the sky behind them for a fast, striking page.
- Cut the ghosts out and hang them at different heights in a window; daylight through copy paper adds a glow.
- Pages are free for personal, classroom, and homeschool use, not for resale. The terms page has the details.
The cupcake page makes a good follow-up, and the night scene suits a child who wants a darker sky. Browse the rest on the Halloween coloring pages hub.
