Jack-O'-Lantern Pip's Big Day Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Pip was a small, round pumpkin, sitting in a big green field. More than anything, he wanted to see the world. One sunny day, a little girl named Lily chose him! "You're the perfect one," she said, hugging him gently.

At home, Lily and her dad took Pip to the kitchen. Scoop, scoop, squish! They tickled his tummy and scooped out his gooey insides and sleepy seeds. Then, with a little carving tool, Dad carefully cut two triangle eyes, a button nose, and a great big, happy smile.

Pip wasn't just a pumpkin anymore. He was a Jack-O'-Lantern! Lily put a little pretend candle inside him, one that flickered with a warm, safe light. She placed him on the porch step. "Now you can see everything, Pip!" she whispered. And Pip glowed, his happy smile lighting up the night for everyone to see.

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The design uses large, rounded shapes and simple, recognizable figures (a girl, a pumpkin), which are ideal for the developing motor skills of 3-5 year olds. The theme of friendship and happiness is emotionally safe and relatable for this age group. Coloring the happy Jack-O'-Lantern helps them express positive feelings.

Coloring Page Coloring Instructions

Hello, little artist! Look at Pip and his new friend, Lily. Can you give Pip a bright, happy orange color? His smile is so big! You can make his pretend candle light inside look yellow or gold. What color will you make Lily's dress? You can use your favorite crayons or markers to fill in all the big, open spaces. Have fun making them look so cheerful!

Coloring Page Printing Tips

For best results, print this page on medium-weight cardstock to prevent markers from bleeding through. Use your printer's 'Best' or 'High Quality' setting to ensure the black lines are crisp and bold. A clean print of the Jack-O'-Lantern will make coloring even more fun!

Recommended Tools

Chunky crayons are perfect for little hands to grip and control. Washable markers are also a great choice for vibrant colors with less pressure needed. Using a mix of tools can be fun too—crayons for the Jack-O'-Lantern and markers for the details!
