Smiling Halloween Jack-o'-Lantern with a Lit Candle

Coloring guide
A round, grinning jack-o'-lantern sits right in the middle, with triangle eyes, round pupils, a small triangle nose and a wide smile showing two little square teeth. The stem curves up from the top, with a leafy vine on the left and a tiny curly tendril on the right. Five short dashes fan out above like rays of light. Down in the bottom right corner, a lit candle with dripping wax and a flame stands next to the pumpkin. Big open shapes and bold outlines make it a nice choice for preschoolers and early elementary kids still working on pencil control. Bright orange for the pumpkin, green for the leaf and stem, and warm yellow with a bit of orange for the flame and rays look good together. It's a free printable for a class party or a quiet fall afternoon at home. Browse more Halloween coloring pages, or explore Gingerbread House and Martin Luther King Jr. Day for even more fun.
