Friendly Ghost Halloween Coloring Pages for Ages 3-5

Coloring page story

Gus was a little ghost who was supposed to be learning how to say "BOO!" All the other ghosts would float up and shout a big, loud "BOO!"

But every time Gus tried, a giggle would pop out instead. He’d puff up his cheeks, wiggle his floaty tail, and instead of a "boo," out would come a "Hee-hee-hee!"

The older ghosts shook their heads. But on Halloween night, a tiny kitten was scared by a rustling leaf. Gus floated over, and instead of scaring it more, he let out his big "Hee-hee-hee!" The kitten stopped being scared and started to purr. Gus learned that a friendly giggle could be just as magical as a spooky boo.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

Perfect for ages 3-5, this illustration uses Chibi-style proportions (big heads/eyes) that are universally appealing to young children. The theme of a friendly ghost making a kitten happy is a gentle introduction to Halloween characters, reinforcing positive social-emotional lessons about kindness.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Look, it's Gus the Ghost! He's not spooky, he's giggling! You can leave him white, or maybe give him a soft, light blue or yellow color. And look at the sweet little kitten! What color will your kitten be? Don't forget to color the big, round leaves on the ground. You can make them orange, red, and yellow, just like in the fall!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

Print this page on standard letter-sized paper. Using a slightly heavier weight paper can make the coloring experience more satisfying for little ones. To make it reusable, laminate the page and use dry-erase crayons for endless Halloween fun!

Recommended Tools

Washable markers are fantastic for making the characters pop with bright color. For a softer look, sidewalk chalk (used on paper) can create a gentle, ghostly effect. Always choose non-toxic tools that are easy for small hands to manage.
