Autumn Promise Halloween Adventure Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

After Halloween, Mia and her dad took Pip, the happy-faced pumpkin, into the garden. "Is Halloween over forever?" Mia asked, looking sad.

"Halloween comes back every year," her dad said with a smile. He carefully opened a little door in Pip's back and scooped out the seeds inside. "And Pip has a special promise for us."

They washed the seeds and let them dry on the windowsill. "Next spring," her dad said, "we will plant these seeds. And when fall comes again, we will have a whole new family of pumpkins, waiting for their own happy faces." Mia smiled. It wasn't an ending, it was a new beginning.
