A bat with wide ribbed wings flies across the page in front of a cratered full moon, a dozen or so stars filling the sky. The ribs on the wings give real texture, and shading them from dark near the body to lighter at the tips is what makes the page more interesting for a five year old than for a toddler. Coloring the stars before the sky keeps them crisp. The moon can stay white or go yellow, and the sky is the big decision: black, purple or midnight blue. Night-scene fans have their Halloween coloring page. Ready to stir something up? Witch's Halloween Cauldron is bubbling over next.
