A bare tree twists up the middle of the sheet, branches splitting into dozens of thin fingers, a dark hollow in the trunk, a small ghost drifting beside it, two bats above and two carved pumpkins sitting in the grass below. Those branches are why this is the longest Halloween coloring page in the set: twenty minutes at least, and it suits a seven year old who likes filling something in properly. The trick is to work the trunk in two browns, light on one side and darker on the other, so the tree looks round rather than flat. Indoors and warm instead, the Cozy Halloween Corner is the calm end of the same evening.
Coloring ideas for this page
