In folklore, ghosts are thought to be the spirits of people who have passed on. The classic white sheet ghost costume became popular in the early twentieth century because white sheets were easy to find and made a simple disguise. Today the friendly ghost image is one of the most recognized Halloween symbols around the world, featured on decorations and costumes every October.
Coloring ideas: traditionally ghosts are white, but this is a coloring page — try a light sky blue or lavender for the ghost body to make it look ethereal. Add a pale yellow glow around the edges to suggest it is floating. For the leaves below, use a warm mix of red, orange, gold, and brown to capture the feel of a crisp autumn day.
This simple image is great for younger kids because the ghost shape is large and the outlines are thick. Toddlers can color the whole ghost one solid color. Older kids can try drawing tiny Halloween symbols inside the ghost's body before coloring it in, turning this into a personalized piece of artwork.
