How to Print and Download

  • Use the Download PDF button on any card for the US Letter file, or choose the A4 link if that paper size fits your printer.
  • Print in portrait orientation so the ghost fills the page with a clean white margin.
  • Choose “fit to page” if your printer preview shows the picture too close to the edge.
  • Black-and-white printing saves ink, and the simple line art is easy to photocopy for a class set.
  • Try cardstock for crafts, classroom displays or marker coloring, especially on the detailed sheets.

Coloring Tips and Ideas

  • For preschoolers, offer thick crayons and invite them to color the ghost first, then the stars, balloon or pumpkins.
  • For kindergarten and first grade, use colored pencils to add gentle patterns inside the open ghost shapes.
  • Turn one sheet into a Halloween card by folding the finished page and adding a message on the back.
  • For a classroom center, print one easy page and one detailed page so children can pick the right challenge.
  • Use soft oranges, purples, blues and yellows for a cozy Halloween palette, or let each child invent a favorite ghost style.

Fun Facts About Ghosts

  • In Halloween tradition, ghosts are one of the classic costume ideas, along with pumpkins and other pretend characters. The U.S. Department of State notes that children often dress up and go trick-or-treating on October 31 (source).
  • The name Halloween comes from “All Hallows Eve,” the evening before All Saints Day, according to American English from the U.S. Department of State (source).
  • Long ago, some Halloween customs were connected to old harvest-time beliefs about spirits, but today many families celebrate with costumes, candy and pretend play (source).
  • Jack-o’-lanterns were not always pumpkins. The Old Farmer’s Almanac explains that turnips were used before pumpkins became a favorite in North America (source).
